Hello Doc,
I have been on finasteride 1mg for a year and now I have switched to 1/4 Proscar. It has been working fine but I suspect little decreased libido and thinking to take half dose. I am not sure that taking finasteride 0.5 mg every day is better or taking 1 mg every other day is better or they both have the same effect?I am asking this based on the fact that finasteride remains in the blood for only 24 hours so it means that if I am taking it alternate days then I am without finasteride for 24 hours. On the other hand, 0.5 mg finasteride is 80% as effective as 1 mg so taking 0.5 mg everyday would give me 80% cover everyday.
That is what my analysis is, but I want your view on this. Thank you very much for help sir!
I tell my patients who have sexual side effects to reduce the dose to one half a pill per day. That keeps levels of the drug in the blood stream most of the time and it should be more effective than 1 pill every other day.
