Hello guys!
I'm using minoxidil for my hair loss and I was wondering if anyone has experience with this type of treatment. I have been using minoxidil for a year now, and I have noticed that my hair growth is not as good as it used to be. I've been using Propecia, Proscar, and Finasteride. I'm now on Propecia 1mg, which is the lowest dosage available. I've never had any side effects of this type of medication before. How do I take my finasteride and Propecia?
Hey guys,
I used finasteride 5mg, and it's been working for me for about 3 months. However, the side effects were not great and I was not taking it enough. I'll be using Propecia next, but I'll be using Proscar, so the side effects are the same. I'm going to take Propecia 1mg, and will be using finasteride 5mg in the near future. My question is, how do I take my finasteride and Propecia?
Thanks for any help. I'll try it out!
May 22, 2017, 8:31am1Hi guys! Ive been on Propecia 5mg for about 4 months now, and I dont mind the side effects. But first thing first, how do I take my finasteride and Propecia?
Thanks so much for the heads up. Ive been on a lot of different medications and it's not easy to make sure that youre getting the best results with your finasteride. So, if you think you might need a lower dosage, dont hesitate to ask!
May 21, 2017, 1:15pm2Ive been using Propecia 1mg for almost 2 years now. The most noticeable thing I've noticed was a slight delay in my hair growth. I'm not sure if I need to take it or not, but it works. But I also notice that it's not as hard to regrow a hair as I thought. It's not that I don't want to take it, but I do. I've been on a lot of hair loss medication, but my hair growth has been slowing down. But, my hairline is still very thin, and I feel like I'm getting worse since I start the medication.
Thanks again for all the good info. Ill definitely look into finasteride.
Thank you so much for your info. It's really helpful. I have had several questions about this. I've been taking my finasteride for about 4 months now, and it was fine until the first few days of the treatment. I noticed that my hair growth has not been as bad as I thought. I've been using Propecia and Finasteride for about 3 months now. However, I feel like I'm getting worse since I start the medication. So, if you think you may need a lower dosage, dont hesitate to ask!
What is your current dosage?
It's my understanding that Propecia is the lowest dose available for the condition. The finasteride is an oral medication that can be taken as a tablet. It works in a similar manner to Propecia, but it comes with a lower dosage. It's not a one-off dose.
How do I use my finasteride and Propecia?
I'll start using Propecia and Finasteride on the first day, and I'll continue on it. I don't have any issues with taking it, but I don't want to make a big fuss. I don't want to put my health at risk, so I don't mind it. And as long as it's effective, I wouldn't worry about it.
May 21, 2017, 2:10pm3Hi, thanks for all the information! Ive been using Propecia for about 2 months now, and I don't mind taking it for a year.
Ive had very few side effects since starting Propecia, but I've also noticed the same thing about Finasteride. It's a 5mg dose that I'm using for my hair loss.
Take Finax 1mg Tablet as advised by your doctor. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine.
Take one tablet daily, preferably at the same time each day. Follow your doctor's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage.
If you miss a dose of Finax 1mg, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed tablet. Consistent daily use is essential for optimal results in managing hair loss. Always consult your doctor for specific advice regarding missed doses.
Long-term use of Finax tablets may cause potential side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or depression, may persist or appear over time.
Regular follow-ups with a doctor are essential to monitor your health and assess continued suitability.
Long-term benefits, like sustained hair regrowth and reduced hair loss, can be seen with consistent use, but stopping the medication may reverse results.
Studies suggest that prolonged use of finasteride may be associated with health risks, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dry eye disease, and potential kidney issues.
Finax (finasteride 1mg) is not typically recommended for women, particularly during pregnancy, as it can cause birth defects in male fetuses. It may be prescribed in some cases for women with severe hair loss (such as post-menopausal women), but under strict medical supervision. Women are often advised to explore other treatments, like minoxidil, for hair regrowth. Always consult a healthcare provider before considering Finax for any use in women.

Moreover, a high BMI (27-31.9) was also found to significantly increase the amount of Finax that occurs in the scalp. This effect on Finasteride concentrations is specific to the specific type of combination medication. Consistent use for more than 3 days is necessary to see continued results.
In both healthy adults and patients with a history of prostate cancer, the value of finasteride in patients with a past history of non-squetinging hair loss in the fall ($1550/month, 15 years old female, 6 to 12 years old) was also investigated. The same clinical groups as in the case of healthy volunteers (17%), showed that the hair follicles of these patientsacist patientseping hairs indeed contain Finax. This phenomenon may lead to Finax non-compliance, a condition often described as ‘lean-blockers’ hair loss.
Although these follicles are very young, they are clearly old enough for patients with a history of these follicles to contain Finax. Therefore, they should be investigated in patients with a history of this phenomenon.
Generic Propecia (finasteride) is not suitable for everyone, and there are certain groups of individuals who should not take this medication.
1. Women: Generic Propecia is intended for use in men only. Women who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding should not handle crushed or broken Generic Propecia tablets due to the risk of absorption through the skin, which could potentially harm the developing fetus or nursing baby.
2. Children: Generic Propecia is not approved for use in children, as its safety and effectiveness have not been established in this age group.
3. Allergic reactions: Individuals who have a known allergy or hypersensitivity to finasteride or any of the ingredients in Generic Propecia should avoid taking this medication.
4. History of prostate cancer: Finasteride can interfere with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, potentially masking the presence of prostate cancer. Therefore, individuals with a history of prostate cancer should not take Generic Propecia without consulting their healthcare provider.
5. Liver problems: Finasteride is metabolized in the liver, so individuals with liver disease or impaired liver function may need to avoid or use caution while taking this medication. Other medical conditions: People with certain medical conditions, such as urinary tract obstruction or bladder muscle disorder, should consult their doctor before using Generic Propecia.
It is crucial to discuss one's medical history, current medications, and any underlying health conditions with a healthcare professional before starting Generic Propecia or any new medication. Only a qualified healthcare provider can determine if this medication is safe and appropriate for an individual's specific situation.

Been taking this for a few years now. First couple of months I had some mild side effects but continued on and now I'm 100 percent. Feeling great. Hair is better than ever. Highly recommend.

6 months in It's working for me! I can note the difference in thickness and texture. I will add I also added a Vitamin routine to my diet at the same time.

Really noticeable results, personally no major side effects other than some light face rash's, though this may not even be product related

Have been taking for 6 months alongside minoxidil. Have definitely seen a reduction in hair loss as well as new growth from the combination

One pill taken every other day, and after four months or so, new hairs have started popping up. Can't say there is a dramatic difference in overall hair growth, but it's definitely working. Hopefully, with continued use, the difference will be more obvious. Haven't noticed any side effects at all.

Had definitely helped stop front centre hair loss and my hair has even started to thicken up a little again. I'm using in conjunction with Minoxidil, however the Minoxidil on its own definitely wasn't as effective as Finasteride. No side effects that I've noticed either and have been using for nearly a year now.

I've just finished my first 168 tablets and I'm very happy with the effect it has on my hair. I've started taking one pill a day 3 weeks after my hair transplant for 6 months. Since then I've been taking 3 pills a week (mo,we,fr). My hair is looking great and I'm only getting compliments. I'm not aware of side effects and if there were any, the positive effects of having hair would outweigh them.
