Can somene link to some 0.5mg studies?

[DCHR]

So I am considering going from 1 propecia pill (1mg) to half (splitting them) to do 0.5mg every day. I see people refer to studies that claim that half a pill is pretty much as effective as the whole thing. But i am having difficulties finding the actual studies.. can someone link to some?

 

Also, has anyone tried going from 1mg to 0.5mg? what was your experience?

 

thanks.

DCHR,

 

After some Pub Med research work (which brought me back to my undergraduate days : ) ) I could not locate an article that studied Propecia dosages and determined that the 0.5 mg dose was as effective as the 1 mg (full pill) dosage. However, I did come across an article that studied the dosages of finasteride/Propecia, and found that while all levels above 0.2 mg showed more effect than the placebo pill, 1 mg of Propecia per day is the optimal amount for battling hair loss. Here's the article. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the input FUTURE_HT_DOC... i hear that a lot of HT docs suggest using half a pill for 0.5mg since full 1mg is overkill in most cases... anyone can confirm/deny that?

On the balding blog, Dr. Rassman showed a study where .5 mg is 80% effective.:cool:
