Happy Holidays

We’re taking the day off and we’re going to be on a limited posting schedule this week. Be back tomorrow!

Happy Holidays

It’s the holiday season, so we’re not going to post today or tomorrow like we would normally do. We’ll still post a few times this week, and things will pick back up to the normal amount of posts on January 2nd.

Happy Holidays!

What happens if I increase the cost of finasteride, will it be more effective?

I found this graph on the blog site. I am not sure of the source nor the accuracy, but it does somewhat address your question and explains much of what I know about the drug fnasteride. When Merck did the initial clinical trials, they were trying to determine what the best and most effective dose of finastride (Porpecia) would be and then, of course, what they would recommend. They found that doses greater than 1 mg, on average, did not increase the value of the drug on hair loss. They also found that when half the dose was used, that the value was 80% as good as the full dose. Going down in dose as well to 0.25 mgs would have half of the value, so I think that this curve is somewhat correct. At least it does explain why some people can get an impact on a lower dose. But Merck recommended 1 mg because it produced the best effect on MOST people.

I am taking a few days off, so there will be no updates until Tuesday, December 27th.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, or whichever holiday you may be celebrating this time of year!

Happy New Year from BaldingBlog!

Happy New Year
We’re taking a couple days off for the New Year celebration, but will be back on Wednesday, January 2nd with more hair loss questions and answers!

2007 was a very good year for BaldingBlog, as the site saw substantial growth in visitor traffic and number of questions answered. I’m pleased that I was able to help so many this year. I believe we published somewhere around 1700-1800 posts in the past 12 months! It’ll be hard to top 2007, but here’s to a great 2008!

Happy New Year!
