Moderators Al - Moderator Posted August 5 Moderators Share Posted August 5 A lot of people take it every other day. I don't think it makes much difference.

I heard that some people prefer taking it every day even at a low dose like 0.2 mg compared to 1 mg eod. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Legend007 Posted August 8 Senior Member Share Posted August 8 Every time i stop taking any fin for two weeks or so, my hair seems to fall out alot easier.. so it scares me so i be back on the pill right away. Quitting it for good will be detrimental to my hair volume, no denying it, i experienced it first hand, with mild to medium side effects. Been on it for 7 years now. So u just have to find a balance that works for u, noone knows ur body more than u. But taking some is definitely better than nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But l think even for non agressive hair loss twice a week doesn't seem to be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
