    Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride. Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise. These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously. Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!

Would it be safe for a 16 year old to use at the right dose or could it cause development problems? 2-would Finasteride be a banned substance in professional elite sports? Many thanks to you both.

    Cheers Doctors, I believe I am ready to go back on Finasteride after a 12 year absence. Do you recommend a daily microdose of .5mg? I'm still using minoxidil, but it's losing its efficacy sans finasteride. I hear constantly that any hair gained with minoxidil will be lost once minox is stopped, but if the follicle is still working, is it possible for it to return via finasteride (after initial fallout)? My entire hairline is intact, but there is thinning in the midfrontal region, that has only thinned out in the past 18 months. Is there a high chance of success for regrowth in this area of the scalp? Thanks and Best Regards! - Joey

    I read that DHT serum levels doesn't spike up instantly on the second day of not taking finsateride. The DHT levels increase gradually "15-20 % after the second day" and so on for 3-4 days. Is this true, according to your findings? My point is that, Can I take finasteride every third day(two days gap) because I don't have a very severe hair loss and want to maintain my hair with little or no hair growth. I would be glad to to have an answer from you! Love your channel and all videos you post. Thank you!

Needless to say for me, the results have been absolutely amazing! I was expecting it not to get worse and stay the same, however, after 6 months I've actually gained so much hair already! It's given me so much confidence! I made a video about my experience so far and can't wait to see what my hair is like in a years time!

In the mean time I had to take Ofloxocine for tow weeks for my synosis problem. I noticed alopecia spot that was getting bigger over time start growing hair... My skin color got whiter and glowful. I don't k ow how it happened but it happened. Again I'm noticing the same pattern hair loss appearing on my moustaches...

    I started losing hair around 21, and starting taking finasteride at around 22. I noticed reduction of hair loss after a month or two, and even some mild regrowth. At some point, I came off of it for about 6 months and I noticed a lot of shedding during that time. I came back on it and the improvements also returned. No side effects whatsoever. I'm willing to stay on it for life if it means I can even maintain the amount of hair I have right now.

    It really depends on the degree of hair loss. If you have some mild miniaturisation, then it is possible for that to thicken up again. But once a hair is gone, it's gone. Glad you are enjoying the content. Feel free to subscribe, plenty more to come.

    Don't listen to these people who are clearly paid/get commission from Big Pharma to push Finasteride. Finasteride has permanent side effects for many people that are irreversible. Their studies don't mean shit because they were mainly funded By Big Pharma and many scientists and regulatory members of FDA were bought off. Their positive results were highly false-positively inflated. Way more people have reported worsening of hairloss and side effects on Finasteride than they advertise. These people along with many others are clearly bought off and are providing marketing for Finasteride obviously. Stay away from Finasteride whatever you do !!!!!

    This is a message to everyone who is considering taking finasteride, but is afraid of the side effects: People drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs but in the end the reason for their side effects is finasteride of course. (don't get me wrong, I am not innocent) Our mind is our strongest muscle in the body: If you think you can achieve something in life, you will get it (Law of Attraction), if you think you will get sick, you will get sick. If you think you are using a medication that helps you with your pain, you will feel relief (placebo) Just talk to your doctor, try finasteride out and see what happens. People here in the comments often talk about their horror experiences, but you never know what their motivation was for writing them (Game-Theory). The reason for their decrease in sex drive could have been anything, maybe they just aged and coincidentally at the same point in time they tried finasteride. Come on. In the US approx. every second person plays lotto at least once in a year and hopes to win the jackpot, with a probability of 1: >100.000.000 but they are all scared to take finasteride because they are scared to be 1 of the 100.

    Hello Dr Knudsen and Dr Jayaprakash I just had a question regarding Propecia versus generic Finasteride. I know Propecia is much more expensive than generic Finasteride and the actual active ingredient in both is the same. My heart still is inclined to use Propecia. I read that sometimes although the active ingredient is the same, SOMETIMES the BINDING chemicals in the Propecia tablet is of higher quality compared to the generic drug, which CAN mean the results of the Propecia is better than the generic drug? I read that a trial was done Propecia had better results than generic Finasteride. Would you be able to advise? Love your channel! Regards Asif

    Thank you both of you for a truthful explanation of finasteride. Your podcasts are GREAT! I've been on prescribed TRT for 6 years at 100 mg per week. My PSA level fluctuates between 3.5 -4.1 over the same period. Recently my Dr prescribed finasteride for obvious hair loss. Will this help reduce my PSA level over time? I'm just concerned with my PSA readings. Thanks so much!
