Taking Propecia on an Empty Stomach

I take Propecia daily, and have been for the last 2 years. I feel it does work, however I have a couple of worries and concerns. I take the tablet daily between 9-10 in the morning, and I always make sure I have an empty stomach, and for at least an hour after taking the medicine. My questions are, am I being over sensitive with my regime? and…

Some times I am afraid that the pill gets stuck in my throat when I swallow it. If it does, will this decrease the effectiveness of the medicine, as it will not be absorbed? How does the tablet get absorbed into my bloodstream, am I over worrying? If I spit after taking it will I lose some of the medicine? I have heard bad things if I miss a tablet that I will be back to square one!

Many thanks for your help

Where are you hearing these things? You can take Propecia anytime during day or night. As long as you remember to take it once a day is all that matters. I have written in the past you can take it in the morning when generally there is a high testosterone level, but there is no firm proof if this is actually of real benefit. If you feel the pill gets stuck in your throat drink a cup of water. If you miss a tablet, you’re not instantly going back to square one. I wouldn’t make it a habit to miss a tablet, but it isn’t going to negate everything by missing a single dose.
