If 1mg of Finasteride period would cause side effects then it would stand to reason that 1 mg of Finasteride once would suddenly stop your hair from falling out but we know that's not true. The simple answer is a lot of people do research online and turn into hypochondriacs afraid over every possibility.
I saw a dude on Reddit insist he felt like he was developing side effects from LOOKING at Finasteride, not even taking it.

@@Busyguy1119do you take fin?
I got my first box of finasteride today off my doctor I've seen for over 12 years. He said that he used to be against the idea of it, because of the possible side effects and it being used by alot of younger men for cosmetic reasons rather than health. He has changed his mind on the drug, because over 95% of the guys he's prescribed it to for hair loss, have no side effects and if they do it's usually something cialas will fix. That put me at alot of ease. He did say some guys can feel a bit depressed until their body becomes used to it, but depression from hairloss is definitely real if you're a guy that wants to hold onto it. My dr is also completely bald on top and says he wishes it was prescribed for hairloss when he was younger. What's the worse that can really happen lads?
update me on how it goes bro! i might wanna use it aswell
@_cliffy will do brother. I'm using a derma stamp, ketoconazole shampoo, zinc, d3 and b12 in conjunction with it

Hello Dr. I have 2 quick suggestions for future topics: the role of scalp calcification in hair loss, and the use of essential oils to treat androgenetic alopecia. Thank you🦲🦳🦱🦰
I can tell you right now essential oils will do NOTHING for androgenic alopecia. Essential oils are only good for the hairs you still have.
@@MattThe1in27-1Hamill you are 100 percent correct if you have a androgentic alopecia or any kind of hairloss you need a stimulator(Minox) and the blocker (finas) and add some multivitmins for the hair like biotin. or collagen etc. ESSENTIAL OILS IS MOISTUIRIZER only your hair become soft or shine etc
@@MattThe1in27-1Hamill Are you familiar with the study that compares the efficacy of topical minoxidil with rosemary essential oil?
@@danielmoreira1965 yeah but it's just limited there's a guy who dermarolled with rosemary on reddit but still nothing close to min fin
What if the patient experiences slightly blurry vision and a drop in mood over the course of 3 months while using 1mg finastaride on alternative days.? Soon after stopping vision n mood returned to normal. Been 6 months off it, can i try with .2mg fin a day or .5mg on alternative days? Kindly suggest
Did you experience blury vision from taking fin?
I have a question doc, I started finasteride, 5 months after I did hair transplant. Is it too late? What actually happens during the 5 months when I’m not taking the drug?
If you still have the hair , then it's not late
Hi Dr. Vikram, thank you so much for you’re videos they are very informative and give people like myself some hope. I was prescribed finasteride 1mg daily and I took it for about a week when I started experiencing side affects and once I stopped they subsided. I’m very nervous about starting to take it again. Is this something that I should be worried about and maybe not take it or if you recommend I do what would be the lowest dose I should start at.
Can I ask what side effects you experienced? When did you know it’s was due you he medication ? I’m also about to start taking it and just doing research
There will be sides for firdt 2 weeks then they subside or we get used to the drug
What side effects did you have?

What would be the best time to take finasteride? Would it be before bedtime or every morning?
Why would it matter at what point in the day you take it? Take it the same time every day, thats all.
Hello doctor kindly please reply my question i usef finastride now for 40 days all i used in those 40 days around 9 pills of 5 mg proscare i started like three days ago feeling pain around my nipples and chest i dont know if its because finastride or no ,could you advise i was using everyday 1.25 mg by dividing the 5 mg into four pcs , should i reduce it to 3 mg per week or what should i do ?
Hello Doctor, can I mix Alfatradiol with Minoxidil and apply it together?will it lower the level of DHT on my scalp? What are your thoughts? Please reply
You can do it, they work in different ways, so you can use them together. Minoxidil is a growth promoter but keep in mind you are going to be forced to use it for the rest of your life if you want to keep your gains. Alfatradiol is not that strong to stop hair loss from what I heard. It works, but if your hair loss is aggressive you will need something more powerful.
I've been taking 1mg every other day for a while now. Recently, I have noticed cold sensitivity and a feeling of coldness on the nape of my neck, back and hands. I don't know if finasteride is causing this.
It’s cuz it’s winter
It’s due to finestride only even I too felt cold and sweaty
Hi doctor i have taken finastride for 15days only and i have erectile dysfunction now what to do i an very worried
@@anuraggupta-vh6gl never had any side effects or cold spells in fact my testesterone is really high.
Doctor could you explain the difference between minoxidil and stemoxydine and it can be combined together
I’m not a doctor but from the research I’ve done you can definitely mix minoxidil and stemoxydine together since they work differently. The difference is simple really
Minoxidil
-clinically proven hair stimulant that you can either get off brand or the more expensive Rogaine foam
-the hair you grow with minoxidil will fall off if you stop using it. Means you will have to you use it for life.
Stemoxydine
-patented hair growth stimulant by L’Oréal (means you can only buy it from them, wich depending on where you live can be costly)
-the research behind it is not very extensive so it’s not guaranteed that it works (L’Oréal obviously says that it does)
-the hair that you grow with it can potentially stay even when you stop using it (but again this probably needs more studies to be sure about)
@@3PICAT Thank you for explaining that yes i think they can be used together also because you really need just one time application for each one of them , the thing as you said there is L’Oréal and other brand I guess is Garnier but the research on it was only from these two companies
Any reverse tablet available for side effects
Have you seen anyone that had word finding issues after finasteride use and how long did it take to recover if you have seen this side effect? If finasteride crosses the blood brain barrier what parts of the brain are harmed by it? I have had anomic aphasia that was medically diagnosed as directly related to finasteride.
🤗Hello Dr Vikram! First off thanks for the great channel. I have a question, finasteride is one of the drugs on the deferral list when it comes to blood donation. You have to wait for a whole month( 28 days) after the last dose to donate blood again. In another one of your videos, you said that patients can take a few weeks off the drug for reasons such as pregnancy and vacations and so on. I understand that you cannot prescribe a break from finasteride but is there a way, I could theoretically donate blood once or twice a year (taking a break from finasteride once or twice a year)? I know I should check with my personal healthcare professional, I will but I trust your opinion as well so it would be awesome if you guys can suggest a pharmacotherapy plan for myself, not necessarily a finalised one as I will discuss that with my dermatologist. I actually want to go on finasteride just so I can donate my hair for cancer patients but I also want to donate blood and help people. It is honestly depressing because I have finally managed to grow out my hair and want to help. I also am AB+( I know I am not AB- which is more valuable) so my blood plasma will be extra useful if I can manage to wait for a month and a week( at least once a year) to donate both my blood and blood plasma, it is just depressing 😭 . I just need to know if I can still keep my hair while taking a break every six months or so. Maybe I could start the drug for a year and then proceed with a pharmacotherapy plan such as this. Anyways thank you for your time. If you could reply to my question, I will appreciate it massively. Thanks 😊 again and have a great time reading the comments doc! Oh and tell Dr Russell I said hi 👋 too!
It's very toxic to women becoming pregnant, pregnant women and even men wanting to concive
But even with a small dose of 3mg per week, won't finasterid build up systemically over time so that we reach the 70 percent DHT inhibition eventually, but just at a later point?
The buildup vs. enzyme production likely isn’t large enough to have an infinitely linear effect, meaning eventually the dose that builds up in your system will flatten as you reach the peak of the enzyme production/enzyme blocking proportion.
That’s likely why they prescribe 3mg per week though, since the buildup, in a way of looking at it, adds “more.”
You can take a 2 week of the drug like discused in other videos
after using it for 1 year and 2 monthes iam feeling back pain and lower back pain and muscles pain i was take 1.25 every 2 days then since 2 monthes ago started with dose 1.25 per day and my hair got very little gowing iam planed to stop this becouse i dont trust the side effects and iam male have 37 years old. i will stop finasteride i dont care if i get bald
If you're inhibiting a normal metabolite process of testosterone what do you think is going to happen?, 5ar is there for a reason, inhibiting this process can never be considered natural, let alone healthy as it can have tremendous and devastating side effects depending on the biology of the individual who took the drug.
I hear a lot of stories especially concerning tinnitus, either that Fin caused it or aggravated it after like 5 days and with 0.25 mg/day. It seems so weird to me that a side effect can occur after this very short amount of time. 5 days with 0.25 mg does literally nothing. It does nothing even after a month. I do not know why that happens. Maybe it's nocebo who knows.
I took finasteride 1mg for the first time ever today and I'm experiencing tinnitus but it's mild. That's not a nocebo effect, I didn't even know that tinnitus was a side effect with this drug. I googled online to check afterwards and there it was.
@@algo2957 Again, it's just super weird to me. Nocebo doesn't always happen when and where you expect it to happen. If you believe negative effects are going to happen, they're gonna affect parts where you least expect it. I don't wanna doubt your experience, but seriously, 1 day?! Scientifically speaking, taking 1 mg does nothing in one day, since it's quite a low dose. In order for Finasteride to work properly, it needs to build up in your system. That's why it takes at least 3 months for you to see any result. Then again, I've heard people say the drug increases inflammation, even though that's never been proven. Try stopping and see if your tinnitus goes away, then start again for about a week or two and see if it comes back again. Then you'll know if there's a definitive correlation between the drug and your symptoms.
@@abrielrobertsson4160 my tinnitus went away... but i have watery sperm :(. thats my only side effect rn. bit worried.
@@algo2957 are you going to stop it, is oral finastrirde the same as topical one?
@@hmarr956 I ain't stopping bruh, F going bald. Btw cum is only slightly water, still got plenty of spunk in there, but yeah, not the ropes I was blowing before lmao. I'll only stop fin if I start getting really bad side effects (e.g. testicle pain, low libido, weak boners). Right now I'm good and I hope I will be for the foreseeable future, we'll see how I am at the six month mark.
No, topical means you put it on your head, oral means you ingest it.
many doctors talk about nocebo, but then most of them who have hair problems don't take finasteride...
I took finasteride for years as a dr, got the side effects in my second year of taking it and have unfortunately suffered with them since stopping. Whether Nocebo or biochemically induced us drs have to respect its still a very real phenomenon for the person experiencing the unwanted burden
@@DrJonathanHopkirkoh no, can I ask what side effects you have? I'm in the same boat, took it for a year and after a year started to get really dizzy when standing up. Had to stop and now my hair is falling out again, however the dizziness is mostly gone.
Whenever I take finasteride I start to feel pain in my right testicle and it remains for 2-3 days after stopping. and when the pain is completely gone I start retaking the finasteride but the pain again comes. It is happening every time. Now I have stopped taking it but My hairfall is extreme. What should I do?
Same here bro one pill and my test hurts and also breast pain and feeling very tired

I took Fin for about 7 days and pretty much within this time had the onset of ED, then quite hard Anxiety and Depression. It took me a month to get over those symptoms after stopping Fin completely. This was at 1mb per day.
These Doctors recommend 1 mg 3 times a week not every day.

Hi, would it be a bad move to try to increase my Testosterone levels(i have quite low T) whilst using finasteride? I am using boron and zinc
I was terrified of taking finasteride because all the horror stories online. To make sure I don't suffer a nocebo effect, I mixed 3 fin pills, with 3 iron supplement pills (nearly identical) in a plastic jar. So if after 1st pill if I feel I am getting side effects, I can check if I actually took fin or not, given there is only a 1/2 chance. Thankfully that experiment canned me down and after 2 weeks I started to take the pill confidently.
*calmed
Watch kevin mann
Wow , Nocebo effect
uptade ?
Do you get any sides now?
I take 3 times a week. So far, I only get very mild discomfort on my left testicule on the day I take it ( it goes away the day after). I have not lost any libido or erection. However, I used to have weird spasm (pain) around my anus area and difficulty to pee in the morning. It seems like finasteride fixed this as sex is now more enjoyable. It feels like I fixed 2 problems with the medication lol
How’s the journey going bro? Still working ok on 3x a week?
Any update??
It’s possible you may have had enlarged prostate as that can cause difficult urinating. Typically this is treated with 5 mg but its possible you saw some benefit even from a low dose
3 a week is effective? Compare to once a day
@@ameermadrid9684 idk I've been taking 1mg everyday for about 2 weeks and no sides yet
Should i take finasteride with a therapeutic dose of test (i.e. primotestone 250mg per week)?
if i experience side effects after the 1st tablet and I stop taking it, how much time does it take to end up these symptoms?
Only thing I felt when I tried oral fin was that my nipples started to burn a few hours after taking it. I do have pubertal gyno glands. Not sure if the estrogen is increased within hours that makes them get inflamed lol. I switched to topical and then back to oral and I’m good now
I started fin this week and am having a similar experience to you (with a history of pubertal gyno). How’s everything been a month later? Still taking oral or back to topical?
@@pescadoquemado I quit all together, went to Dr W. rassman office and he concluded that I have 0 active balding after mapping my hair miniaturization. I just have a big forehead with a mature hairline combo. With makes it look like I have a Norwood 2.5-3 in some angles. Dug into the camera roll back ups from 2017-2018 when I was 17-19 and I still have the same hairline then. On top of men on both sides never going past Norwood 2.5 ish on my dads side and 0 balding on my moms since they’re Native
@@catlover4life420 You were taken Finasteride and stopped, because just found out that you don’t have any hair loss? I’d call that a double win for you! If I understood you right.
Lol I’m dying
Hello there, did the burning/pain/sensitivity completely go away once you stopped taking it? I took 2 tablets only, had severe pain and massive sensitivity, itching too. I’ve been off it for more than a week now but the symptoms still persist.
I'd pay attention to those side effect reports, Doc. I was told that gabapentin doesn't cause withdrawals or hairloss, which turned out to be wrong
I’m having side effects breathing I didn’t watch video. Can it get worse if I just continue using it
Can i take boron 3mg with finasteride ?
My first few days on Finasteride were so bad I could not keep going with it. Terrible. Fluctuating mood, stomach issues, headache, uneasy feeling in my head. Fuck Finasteride man.
Same for me .. this shit is just not worth it
Hello. Thanks. I’m wondering if you know of any data on finasteride causing “flare ups” in preexisting conditions - mainly ankylosing spondylitis? I have a history of AS and I experienced flare-ups last year when I began finasteride and again this year when I began again (I took a 2-3 month break). I wouldn’t normally have flare-ups this many times per year, although it did go away last year even as I kept with the finasteride. Just thought I’d ask cause of the timing of my finasteride treatment and my flare ups. These flare ups are the worst I’ve had and disrupt my sleep. Maybe it’s not worth it if the finasteride is the culprit. Thanks for your input.
I also have AS and decided not to take finasteride. I am looking to prevent hair loss without harmful prescription drugs.

Thank you
Do u need to stop finesterdie if u taking a blood test?
This guy is saying 1mg is a small dose as some people take 5mg, however 1mg and 5mg have nearly identical inhibition of DHT and other hormones needed from 5-ar, 1mg can and does cause same sides as 5mg
Hes talking about 1 mg every other day. Not 1 mg a day
these doctors are clown and murderers

Check out Kevin Mann on RUclips, I had the same mindset like you but after watching some of his videos it made me not to think about it and just take the pill before it's too late. So far 2 months in and i don't have any side effects (3mg a week dosage)

@@josephgrmovsekcollaredcons6085 If you combine it with microneedling, it will go systemic and will be same as oral
@@josephgrmovsekcollaredcons6085 Yes it does increase the efficacy of the results . Microneedling in itself helps by creating micro wounds which help in increasing the blood circulation which is giving the better results .
Now if you use Dutasteride after 24 hours of microneedling , those wounds will heal up in that time due to which it would be the same as applying dut without microneedling .
Hi, thank you for the really great and useful content. I am from Italy and I wonder if you have ever heard of CFU (Combined Follicular Units) technique for FUT (Doctor Pietro Rosati), and what do you think about it? Thank you so much, this would be helpful.
What about blocking the benefits of dht?
I started taking 1mg finasteride (Propecia) everyday since last 10 days and had no side effects so far. Is it possible to see any side effects later on as i continue using it? Or am i most probably okay with the medication for long term?
This is a really difficult question to answer. The drug can build up in the system over time increasing the chances of side effects.But many people don't get any.
@@dimitarmartinovski8101 Well, my dermatologist asked me to use finasteride for 3 to 4 months along with minoxidil and then continue using only minoxidil after that, i caught my thinning hair in its early stages in the crown area...so is this a feasible thing to do, i.e, use only minoxidil after 3-4 months of finasteride to keep my hair? What i was thinking is that i can use finasteride in a lower dosage after that period and use only 3 mg per week from there onwards...because minoxidil does not fix the main root cause of balding but finasteride does by reducing the dht levels. What would u say about this?
@@ArshadKhazi Without finasteride you'll eventually lose hair.

Nothing much, probably reduce your chances of keeping your hair by a few percent.. Depends how respondent you are to fin. Some people need 1mg some only need 0.2mg.. You want to take a gamble that you are a .2mg guy?

got better?
Yes. I guarantee you guys, all this man said is true.. its not just in your head, its definitely the side effects of blocking your DHT. Fuck this drug

Talk to your doctor dude. Driving with that side is dangerous
I’m a 41 yo female and I was given a prescription for finasteride 5 mg!!! Daily for 3 months! What do I do take 1 pill once a week? 😰 doctor diagnosed AGA and TE. Without even doing blood tests, he just checked the blood work I had 2 years ago. 😫😫
Nooooo finasteride is contraindicated in women!!
what a clown doctor. finasteride is not even for women
it is untrue to say that finasteride 1mg is five times less powerful than finasteride 5mg. No. Finasteride 5mg is only slightly more powerful blocking 75% of DHT whereas 1mg blocks around 64%. So, the number of miligrams should not induce you into thinking it is 5 times less invasive.
Lol you said it yourself, 75% and 64%. 11% is a huge margin. It's not 3 or 4%, it's 11.
@@abrielrobertsson4160 So 11% reduction makes it 5 times less effective? Nice bit of math you got goin on
I’ve taken it for 2 months and have bad side effects. Loss of Libido and the whole thing.
I didn’t really look into the side effects and regret that. It mess directly with my testosterone- and my thinking. Messed up depression episodes.. effed up thoughts. Horrible.
Then I read up on it and STOPPED immediately. I’m 5 days off and not normal yet. My hair looks great but NOT WORTH losing my DRIVE.
A nightmare for me, I’m Scandinavia & German (genes) if that has anything to do with it.

It could take months or even years to get it back. I would get bloodwork done first.

Same here

I took it for a week at 0.5mg a day. Libido dropped, got anxiety and brain fog also nipples felt tingly. I didn't mind the brain fog or the slight loss of libido (wasn't much) but didn't like the anxiety and the possibility of man breasts. Looking into formulating a low dose topical with Minoxidil. See if that is better for me

@@RealOrbit-Australia I started a few days ago and have brain fog and memory problems. I've been told it suppose to pass in a few days. I don't know. I'm taking 0.5mg everyday. maybe if we reduce the dose to 0.25mg per day? I've been using topical finasteride 0.1% for 2 years and it didn't help. I will say I have autoimmune condition scarring alopecia lichen planopilaris and finasteride has shown to stop the disease so I feel I don't have a choice. Maybe the topical will work for you. I'm also on isotretinoin which is shown to be the most effective drug for this disease but fin has shown to regrow hair even in this scarring hair loss.
Hi there, can you give us an update please? Did the breast problems go away?
For the record I have used finasteride for 10 years to good effect for hair loss, I am an advocate, but like many who have taken it for years can clearly recall the feeling of "being kicked in the nuts" in initial weeks.
However, what I wanted to disagree with is the unsatisfactory explanation for side-effects not being physiological for people, because "1mg is such a low dose compared to 5mg". The drug clearly has little dose-dependency. One pill of 0,2mg is cutting DHT by 50%, that's pretty f'ing physiological if you wanted to investigate a mechanism for a side-effect.
Did you have any other sides?
@@JRtheBoy At the time I believed maybe I could notice "low libido" or varying libido, but no performance issues. However, it is not something I still feel, being with a girlfriend I am attracted to. If it helps, the testicular pain was very brief, and occured a handful of times. I believe most males can relate to experiencing a short "pain" in their testicles at some point in their life, the only difference here was it happened a handful of times. It could happen when I was otherwise immersed in something, like playing football. I therefore don't think that was psycho-somatic. At one point I didn't take the medicine for 4 weeks as I went on holiday and forgot it. When I took it again, I felt the same thing again. Nothing after that. Feel free to ask me anything, I am happy to share. James
@@Jamestehkman thanks for the reply man. What dose do you take? And if the testicle pain which only last briefly is the only side effect you’ve noticeably experienced that’s definitely encouraging. I’m quite nervous about starting fin just from what I continue to read online in comments on videos etc.
Am I the only one having memory issues and brain fog from this drug? I started taking it in the last few days and I feel like I can't think clearly.
@@E10l Dude, you have to realise people have literally reported side effects from drugs before they have even taken it. We are human, we are stupid, and the plaecbo effect is strong. It is incredibly unlikely to notice something like that in a few days, it's akin to taking anti-depressants and wondering why your knee hurts. You have to think, you have a 96% chance of not experiencing side effects, and if I gave you a placebo you have a 98% chance of not experiencing side effects.
What exactly did you take?

Hello Doctor. I'm still at one month of taking finasteride, but I feel like my hairline is getting worse. Before I take finasteride, my hairline is like Norwood 1 but I can feel it going to Norwood 3. Is finasteride making it more worst? And also my crown area is getting more thinner and thinner.

Hello Ali, I am on finasterid 3x/week and minoxidil every evening since 6 months. Hair still very thin, scalp visible etc. looks worse than before I started both treatments. Do you think it’s still sheeeding effect ? First months it got better but since I changed from liquid to foam in December 2020 it seems like more sheeding occurs.
@@hadichami3921 it’s possible that the foam is not reaching your scalp therefore it’s as if you aren’t using the minoxidil. It’s widely known that once you stop feeding your scalp minoxidil all the hairs you grew with it will fall quickly.
@@MattThe1in27-1Hamill Maybe it’s exactly the opposite what happening and the foam is absorbing better to the scalp and that’s why I had more sheeding. Now it looks like the hair getting better, but maybe because I didn’t had a hair cut for months. I will continue with the foam I think it’s getting better all over my scalp and just be patience.

You should check your hormones levels and go to a doctor.
@@Dedlogico i have. they said they’re normal.
@@Schlimaazl define normal, because between 300 and 1000 ng/dL is considered normal, I don't know your age but for a guy between 25 and 40 being in between 600-1000 is normal, a guy with 350 nd/dL is considered normal, but it has a t level of a 80 year old, and if you nuke your dht, you will have side effects, could be that dht was the only thing preventing you from having hypogonadism symptoms.
If that's not the case, it could be high estrogen or something, all side effects are due some problem in hormone levels.
