A Complete Guide to Finasteride in Hair Loss & Hair Transplantation | 100 FACTS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- This talk is a Complete Finasteride Guide and contains all the questions about Finasteride and its use in hair loss, balding and hair transplant I have ever been asked. To be clear at the outset, tailor-cut dosages of Finasteride are for hair loss treatment and not after a hair transplant when a dose of 1mg a day is mandatory in most cases. For other indications of hair loss, there is no one dosage that fits all groups of patients with hair loss. It is interesting how crowd behavior has evolved dosaging of Finasteride over a period of time in various permutations and combinations. Every patient is different with differing metabolism, differing risk tolerance and differing hardiness of the mind since the mind rules the body. This is important to understand since compliance is crucial while recommending Finasteride and the patient has to be comfortable using it. Clinics follow dosage regimens that best suit their patients and practice. Many a times this advice is without scientific basis or clinical propriety but has a salubrious effect on the patient’s hair loss.
The National Center for Biotechnology Information stated that lowering Finasteride dose to 0.2 mg a day eliminates side effects while remaining useful to fight MPB. But no hair transplant surgeon would have experienced such low doses giving salubrious effects in hair loss. Certain doctors prescribing miniscule apologetic doses of Finasteride 0.5 mg on Monday-Wednesday-Friday merely pander to the underlying fears of the patient who is wary of Finasteride. Any doctor who gives respite from his worst fears, is music to the patient’s ears! This dosing cannot do justice since average 0.2 mg a day is much below the effective dose 0.8 mg per day if we refer to the dose-response curve. Moreover, it does not cover the weekends when testosterone levels are the highest in the week due to outdoor activities. However, it has been seen that a daily dose varying from 0.5 mg to 1 mg is where the sweet spot of dosing of Finasteride lies. According to dosing studies, lesser than 0.5 mg a day does not work. So any dose that is sufficient to stabilize hair loss, maintain and regrow hair with no side effects is the optimal customized does for that patient.

@@hairtransplantinindia Good morning Doc. I just have a question. Can finasteride topical solution/gel will be as effective as taking oral tablets?
@@rajan2291 No it is of no use. It will just be absorbed by the blood but not reach the roots since dosage absorbed is low.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank u doc. I have another question. I am 44. Can I take finasteride tablets on alternate days? Will it help ? Let me bring to your kind notice that I have got my hair transplanted on 28.04.21. I am taking follihair, applying mintop 5% everyday before going to bed
@@rajan2291 You should take 1 mg a day for 6 months. But follow your doctor's advice- he may not have felt you are eligible for Finasteride due to some reason.
Sir, you are Worlds Best Doctor that i have seen on RUclips, we look forward to more and more videos from you. One day you will be the top viewed Haircare doctor on RUclips for sure ! Dhanyavad!
Thanks for the good wishes. I am most deeply humbled.
Stop drinking and smoking. Exercise regularly. Cut down on refined carbs and sugar. Stay away from junk food, eat healthy and sleep well. I see how you could get side effects of finasteride.
You got it! That is the secret!!
With these steps we can avoid side effects??
Most of these guys reporting side effects are drinking and smoking or have shit lifestyle in general, that doesn't really help with processing Finasteride in liver, because Finasteride is processed by the liver and having Alcohol and Nicotine (which is a vasoconstrictor) flowing in your system is not conducive for effectiveness.

Thanks doc, great vid.
Thank you for being on the channel and for watching.
Hello guys , I have started aggressive baldness at age of 24 , so doc gave me 0.5mg Duestride everyday but I had side-effects on the 4th day I had intense testicals pain. The point to be taken note is that, The results of taking tablets where seen instantly, I used to have atleast 70-100 hair falling when I coumb in the morning which significant reduced to less then 10. I was really amazed but the side-effects couldn't be tolerated, I didn't have Ed or loss of libido I only expressed testicals pain. The duestride amplified the pains I already had like pain in lower back and legs pain.
I have now taken break from it within 2 days the side-effects have gonna. So nothing scary too take it. If it works then you should have too take the risk to save you hairs
Bro start 0.25 msg 4 days a week again
Hey doc, u r giving the best and honest information available out here.
I really appreciate that...
My question is I have been applying 5% minoxidil for the past 5-6 years but my hairs have been thinning and falling off as usual without any good results so can I stop it as I'm now taking finasteride 1mg every day post hair transplant?
Please advice...
Thanks
You should apply 5% Minoxidil for 6-9 months after a hair transplant. this will give better result.
Thanks a lot for the video
Amazing Q and A ! It should get far more likes!😂
I am going to try 3 months on and 15 days off cycle.
Thank you so much Doctor.
Finally I found a channel of no bro science.
Thanks
Any side effects bhai?
So ...how was your experience ?
Hey.. how'd it go?
Hey Doc, Why do you not prefer using topical finasteride over oral finasteride for young patients with thinning , since topical finasteride has same % of scalp DHT reduction and lesser % serum DHT reduction as compared to oral finasteride ,thereby reducing the risk of side effects...
Thank you for clearing my doubts. I'm seeing the early stages of hairloss at age 19 and I really, really don't fancy myself bald! I was worried about the side effects, but I now start on Monday.

I hope he was the doctor I met 10 years ago. The clinic In Ottawa mind you, that I went to quickly went to look at my donor area, although I had a hair full of hair. When I resisted the idea of Finasteride, they didn't address it and said that hair transplant will "cure" my baldness. Now after 10 years I am watching this video, shiny bald and I am trying topical finasteride. This thing works. Parts that were all gone are coming back. maybe I am a super responder, but I am seeing good results. Will get transplant later to fill in the rest of the baldness.
Thank you for the note and for sharing your valuable experience.
Keep your scalp clear of any sebum or build up while applying topical for maximum results
@@Tate525 yup, also I use anti dandruff shampoo to keep the scalp clean.
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Doctor, you are truly one of the best source of information and knowledge on the web for us young men with hair loss. I could not be more thankful for stumbling on your channel. My question to you is what the maximum level of estradiol and minimum level of testosterone one should have in order to start using finasteride. And secondly, I am a 21 year old men with a Norwood 2 balding and I was prescribed a dose of 0,25mg finasteride every day in order to minimize sides. Do you think this will be enough for my relatively low balding scale? Thank you in andvance!
Thanks. Hormonal levels are no indication for dosing of Finasteride. They only help rule out pre existing hypogonadism or provlivity to get sides like ED and gynecomastia. I would be hesitant in starting a patient with total testosterone level less than 400 ng/dL on long term oral Finasteride. For microdosing I have assembled all my practical knowedge here: ruclips.net/video/GwbYW3D6OJI/видео.html
Great video. Thanks a lot
Around 41:00 is where I believe I can pass on Finasteride 🙏
I'm satisfied with my body at 33 years old so I will not take any further risks and side effects.
All the best to everyone on their hair journey.
Thank you for the video.
All the best.
Thank you for the detailed informations. Do you recommend dutasteride mesotherapy for your patients?
No I only recommend evidence based treatment that I have used on my patients and which I feel will work.
Thank you for this mega compilation of finasteride related questions and their clarifications. I sometimes feel that there is a deliberate effort to suppress any cure for hair loss or treatment for hair growth as it would lead to massive losses in revenues from sales of finasteride, minoxidil, hair vitamins, shampoos, wigs/patches/fibres, prp, hair transplants etc...
The companies that are researching hair loss have megabucks at stake to come up with a cure at the earliest and the profits will most likely far surpass any product presently available.
@@hairtransplantinindia Wow that's great news then!!! Just hope that the price of any new cure is affordable to the public at large....aisa na ho hi baal ugane ke liye ek kidney ki kurbaani deni padegi lol
@@hairtransplantinindia that's sounds very promising doctor. Question: Do you believe in the near future, any topical anti-androgen will be able to replace oral finasteride with the same effectiveness? I see some companies, are very near to complete their clinical trials (e.g. phase 3) and get fda-approval. What's your opinion? Thanks a lot for your valuable information. Keep the excellent work.

Thanks for the comment
those who talk about the sides of FIN i suggest them to chek the sides of smoking😁😁
haha! No, that's their blind spot.
Exactly. And bad sleep hygiene and eating fast food, drinking a lot, not exercising. They blame every symptom under the sun on fin.
Can I start running, gyming and lifting weights after hair transplant and can excessive sweating cause hairfall ❓
After 7 days
I had never seen such an honest and detailed video on finasteride, thanks for your efforts. I live in India, could you please recommend a good finasteride brand available here?
CIPLA, Dr Reddy's and Merck make good quality medications.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks a lot for replying, you are the first person I’ve seen to have replied to all the comments on his video. Thanks for helpings us.
Very informative 👊
Glad it was helpful!
Great info! thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Doctor, thank you very much for providing us with all that info for free! I appreciate it. I would like to ask you if progesterone levels are affected by finasteride?
Yes it most certainly does. Thank you for watching.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you for your answer, as I had slightly higher progesterone (2.79 ng/mL), do you think it is going to be an issue if I use fin? My test level was 6.49 ng/mL and my E2 was 24.95 pg/mL. PS. I am lean built and I am working out for years.
Very informative.
Would like to share my experience with others.
I started .5mg on alternative days after a gap of 6 months.
I experienced testicular pain and stopped after 10 days.
I got motivated by your videos and made up mind to use again at .5mg alternative days.
Thankfully no testicular pain, but pain in right calf for 2-4 days straight which now has reduced.... secondly, don't feel fresh when I get up in the morning ..as if I have a hangover.... thirdly, get blackouts when i get up from sitting positions.
I am not scared or anything to use it. I wanna give it a try again for 3 months after using it for 4 years straight 1mg daily!
I want to actually but all this I am experiencing wish could be avoided.
I have high metabolism , eat clean, don't drink or smoke.
Thanks again and it feels good to read other people's experiences .the comment section feels like a hair loss forum 😄
Thanks for the note. It is very helpful when patients give their own opinion and not just express apprehaensions they have acumulated through hearsay. I would like to see more updates about your Finasteride journey and I am sure others would like to as well. All the best.
The blackouts are because of low sodium in blood, the way you mentioned switching positions causing blackouts is exactly what happens when you are on low sodium diet. Check out The Salt Fix by Dr. James DiNicolantonio.
Hi, can you please update how you are doing and the results ?
@@justinc2625doing fine.
I thought my hair thinning is stable now so I started using Finastride on alternate days and only with in 45 days I realise that hair are thinner than before and i had no stress as such responsible for that thinning .
So i have gotten back to taking it every night again.
Hi Doctor, thanks for the valuable information. Can you pls clarify the below-
1. Exactly after how many days of hair transplant, the Finasteride and Minoxidil dosage should start?
2. Is it recommended to use both Minoxidil and Finasteride together after hair transplant for 6 months on daily basis OR should these be taken in alternate days- (One day Finasteride and next day Minoxidil)?
Minoxidil to be started after crusts come off around 14 days post procedure. Finasteride after 5 days of hair transplant once antibiotics are over. The recommendation is to take them daily.
Thanks for the precise and informative snippets that you have compiled for finasteride , Dr Bhatti .You are doing a wonderful job . I would not expect a detailed answer from you for a youtube comment , but ill go ahead anyways. there seem to be a group of people including me who been using finasteride for the past 1 year and having good maintenance , only to see , not only shedding but also miniaturization to a certain degree since the psat 2 months. Due to this I have resorted to combining fin 1mg daily with dut 0.5mg once a week. As you have mentioned that the mind could govern the body in funny ways ,i started "noticing" that my facial hair growth has reduced minimally and my face has become a bit more rounder since starting Dut for the past 2 months. Any sort of anecdotal evidence from your patient care experince is welcome. Have a good day!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video on my channel.
Dutasteride blocks 94% DHT which causes facial hair and which maintains it. No this is never a concern with Finasteride since it blocks just 70%. The round appearance of the face could be since you are losing beard hair or they are thinning and this is changing the profile of your face. But it can also be due to higher levels of estrogen consequent to the DHT combination you are using. Time to get these levels checked.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for an almost immediate and elaborate explanation on the issue at hand , Dr Bhatti ! Going in depth into the video I have also noticed that you mentioned changing brands could lead to a huge amount of shedding , which ix almost exactly what happened to me . Ill keep up our doctors code of conduct and not mention the brand names . Im a junior to you in regards to experience , and in a different department , and sure do hope there are senior consultants like you who give good advice. Thank you.🙏🙏🙏
Sir, You are outstanding 🙏❤
I am willing to start finesteroid from today. Can i take 0.25 mg in alternative days to get a effective result and without having side effects? I am 25 years old.
Thank you sir your help ❤
Take love ❤
First get blood tests and then a doctor's consultation.
When you say “have a 15 day break every three months”, do we just stop cold turkey for the 25 days and then carry on as normal? Does everyone take breaks? Do you? Thanks.
Yes I do too and have been doing the same since 2008
Great talk Doctor Saab
Thanks, Doctor.
Great video!
Thanks!
Thank you so much
I just started Finesteride today , only the 5mg dosage are available in my country. I took one tablet this afternoon. I will take its once per week. Is this ok Doctor ?
Split into 4 quarters and then take one every night. Watch: ruclips.net/video/cPWmhkYEiUw/видео.htmlsi=XP653lU1-kziS7CI
Im on finasteride for 1months, after 3days my hairloss boosted massively. Now im on my way going bald. Before finasteride i had much more hair.
Please sir is it normal for finasteride?
This shedding phase is normal. Be patient.
What Dosage do you recommend to your patients after completing 6 months after hair transplant , like vitamins, finestried, dutastaried etc … I am asking long term medication advice… considering the patient is healthy and age earlier 40s…you are the best … thank you 🙏
If 40 and baldness is stable, there is absolutely no need to continue medication.
Thank you for your informative video Dr. Bhatti! I'd like to ask for your advice. I'm on a 1 month break from propecia (I previously heard that you can take a 1 month break after the 5th/6th month. I started taking finasteride (propecia) 3 times per week about 5 months ago). After the break, I'm thinking about switching to proscar, due to the price difference. On question 35, you stated that switching brands may cause intense shedding (In my case, both the propecia and proscar have the same licencee company written on the box). After the 1 month break, if I continue with proscar instead, will I still be taking a risk of shedding or other side effects? I would appreciate your feedback.
Shedding is not likely since the company Merck has the same isomorphic form of Finasteride for propecia and proscar. But I am curious to know how you will be splitting the 5 mg proscar tablet into 0.5 mg pieces!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you Dr. Bhatti! I will try my best to split the proscar tablets into 4-5 pieces with a pill splitter or knife. I hope that cutting the pills will not significantly reduce the efficacy of proscar..
@@a.c.o.4 Keep in airtight container. Split tablets one at a time.
Great video. One of the original purposes of Proscar was to reduce the size of the prostate which can have various health benefits like less frequent urination. In addition to blocking DHT which causes hair loss does Finasteride in 1 mg dosage decrease the size of the prostate?
1 mg is insufficient for this purpose. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks!
sir If I caught up with those side effects what to do.....
8872238888
Sir It is the best video on RUclips about finastredine. I think no one can match your knowledge and expertise on the subject of hair transplant. Sir you said that propecia is by far a good choice but is it available in India and if not then can indians take finastredine by indian pharma companies like dr reddy, cipla etc
Yes Propecia is available in some select stores. Being quite a costly drug it is not what most Indians like to buy!
I work out daily and take creatine, plus ashwagandha (300mg) at night, and I've heard both increase testosterone/DHT - so if I'm taking finasteride to block DHT, should I avoid creatine and ashwagandha?
After my hair transplant i was taking minoxidil..when i stopped taking minoxidil..my transplanted hairs and few of my existing hairs hv fallen out.. its been 2 years since am off medication...if i take minoxidil and start finastride will my hair grow again?
Cannot say without proper assessment
U r great Sir
Thanks for watching my videos regularly.
i saw finasteride 1 mg. in capsule version. is it as effective as tablet form? thanks
Can you send me a link please.
Hello sir! Thank you for the video it was indeed very informative.. you mentioned about starting with a low dose of finasteride. Can you tell us what do you mean by a low dose? How low would you recommend to begin with?
0.5 mg on alternate days.
@@hairtransplantinindia dear sir, I have been taking the dose as advised by you. However i have been experiencing muscle twitching since the last 2-3 weeks more of it in the left part of my head right about my ears.
Please advise me as to what should i do now?
@@sohannirkhe1 You are overawed by the aura around Finasteride. Please stop the drug immediately. It is not for you.
Great video thank you. Subbed!
I’m 37 and been on 1.25mg of Fin for 19 days now. Noticed slight thinning for 6 months before starting. Now I think I’m starting shedding (around 150/200 hairs per day this week). Im wondering why blocking DHT tends to promote a shed? I understand blocking DHT will stop ‘polluting’ the growth of current and new hairs, but why does it promote the shedding? Is it because now the new hair “seeds” are no longer poisoned by DHT and are able to grow so the body sheds old hairs to make way for the new upcoming hairs?
Its because the DHT blockade allows the root to get healthier and robust. The root grows a stronger hair and this detaches from the previous. It leads to shedding.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you so much for answering :) I really hope this means my drastic sudden increase in falling hairs so early into taking Fin is a good sign. It never fell like this before Fin. If I weren’t taking Fin, I assume these hairs would have slowly fallen out eventually anyway and just not had a chance to be replaced. May I ask a final question, am I right to assume the percentage of shedded hairs that will successfully regrow is genetic. I guess some people get little to no regrowth where some may see 100% and even extra hairs growing back?
@@44daggers44 Shedding is a good sign when it happens after starting Finasteride. It is also a good sign after a hair transplant. It denotes life within- within the root that is active. Just as the tree that sheds and then after the cruel winter grows new bright green leaves.
@@hairtransplantinindia I’m so grateful to have this information. Thank you sir. I love analogies too :) I guess I’m needing to rug up for my winter. Long term view in mind!
How long after a hair transplant can someone use Sildenafil? Great video !!

Hii doc, this is really a very helpful video.
Please can you tell remedies of inflammation and dandruff, cause when hair fall I observed it and found powdery thing at its bulb... What's the reason?? Please suggest something... Lots of love and support ✨♥♥
Pleaess end me pictures or come for a consultation. Online discussion like this is rarely ever beneficial when examination is indicated.
I've been on finasteride for 5 months and I haven't noticed any increase in hair growth or size yet. I had a bunch of sexual side effects in the first two or three months but they have now subsided and I don't notice any side effects anymore.
Only about 70% people will respond to oral Finasteride. How old are you, what is your level of baldness and what dosage are you taking?
Sir i m 19 year i am suffering from mbp and have little crown and receding hairline. My doctor suggested me multivitamin, dutamax lotion ( topical dutasteried 0.025% w/h), and 5% minoxidil. So, how much year i can delay male pattern baldness? Or is there any side effects of topical dutasteried bcoz i m feeling low sex may be it just psychological).cuz I dont want to lose my remaining hair at this early age 😢.
Once you are past 18, Merck recommends you can go onto Oral Finasteride. If you do not your present medication will not hold the hair for long.

Will it be safe to take finastride
Your breast glands are removed during gynecomastia surgery. When there is no beast tissue, there will be no sides with Finasteride. Even then they are very rare.
Hi sir, wanted to know does finastride regrow hairs that are gone ? How do we know if that area might still be active for regrowth by finastride or not ?
Finastreide can not even grow hair that have thinned less than 50% of normal thickness.
honest person🥰
Thanks for watching.
Doctor, I have been taking 0.5 mg of finasteride for a month. I've had some effects like trouble breathing and hunger, but they have subsided. In the last couple days, I've got a new troubling side effect, which is brain fog and sleepiness. It's very difficult for me to concentrate for most of the day. In your experience, does brain fog eventually subside? I'm willing to fight through this if so, but other wise I guess I have to stop. Any suggestions, would be appreciated. (Also, I have OCD and Aspergers.)
I hope the OCD is not causing you to worry inordinatley? But if it has been only for the last couple days, give it time. Give it the time to readjust. One month more.
Hope you are doing well. Any updates on side effects
Doctor, I'd like to follow your switch-off-protocol to prevent the build up of dutestaride, however, I'm reading the half life of dutestaride lasts 6 months. How often do you suggest the switch off and for how long? (I'm currently taking dut 0.5 every 72 hours).
P.D thank you so so much for this, I was extremely anxious about my dht fluctuations.
Its much less as explained in the video. 15 days is enough for Finasteride. For Dutasteride you can stop for 4 weeks every 3 months if you have sides. Dutasteride is a stonger DHT blocker so you will need to observe what suits you best. Consult your prescribing doctor.
@@hairtransplantinindia You are the best, sir. Thank you.
what do you think of topical finasteride?
No use. It is an apology and not an alternate to Oral form.
Is there any bonanza for new year
Sorry but we do not market ourselves like that.
Hello sir. Your video are very informative. Thank you. I am using Fenustride 1 mg per day with minoxidil from last 1 year. I have clearly observed of chest enlargement and tenderness in the chest. But still I am using Fenustride. I worried about chest enlargement. I am not suffering from obesity. Do you have any medicine to stop chest enlargement? Or do i need any excersize to stop? Or do I need to stop Fenustride? Or chest will get normalised when I stop Fenustride? Please suggest.
Firstly get total and free testosterone levels alongwith estrogen levels done in a nearby good lab.
Doctor, I watched the entire video here my question is can one take Minoxidil and Tab Fin without consulting a Dr and without doing any tests( or only free and total testosterone tests for future assessment) with alternate dosing of finesteride and a positive mindset, as u said only 0.5% will see possible side effects.Does this help in diffuse pattern alopecia?
Yes you may if you are otherwise healthy, of lean built, do not have ED and have an active lifestyle.
How is ur condition now did finasteride cause side effects
I took finasteride for more then 1 year but then I stoped suddenly for 1 year, although it worked. Currently 2 month back I started again with oral minoxidil 2.5 mg. My question is that should I continue finasteride? Will it work again this time as you said in multiple video about cold Turkey . Kindly guide me sir!!
You need a detailed consultation.
Hello Dr.Tejinder Bhatti,
great video
-as always.
Can you make a video about alfatradiol in the fight against hair loss
-in patients who are older and do not have an aggressive form of hair loss.
In Germany the drug Pantostin with alfatradiol is very popular.
Best regards
Sure let me gather some data since I have no experience with this drug.
Does finastride causes prostate cancer?? How they are co related sir???
Finasteride is prostate protective. It does not cause cancer.
Hello Doctor
Thank you so much for the great videos and
Information you give us!
I’m 35 years old
I’ve just had a hair transplant in Bulgaria and bought 5mg finasteride accord tablets to break into 4 pieces 1.25mg.
The pills I have are in circle, so
they won’t be different amount everyday, but my question is: Is it too much to have 1.25mg a day instead of 1 mg?
As they don’t sell 1mg in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Will go back to England where I live in 4 days and will buy 1mg from there the same brand accord if I have to, but the price is 100 times more, but as i started these 1.25 already. I Can always move to 1mg in England as long it’s safer though 😊
Thank you so much 🙏
It's already over 4 days and I hope you have bought 1 mg tablets. Sorry for the delay. The answer to your original question is here: ruclips.net/video/xmj7uEWAvDc/видео.htmlsi=GSRPLEOWWJoHOmPz
I am 26 years old. I had two hair tansplants, one in the front and one in the crown. Doctors have advised me finasteride 1mg 3 days a week. What should i do to maintain my transplanted hair and how I can stop finasteride resistance in my body
I have done a video on using minimal dosage to get maximal results the video is titled "5 strategies while using finasteride"
hello doctor, i am part of the group that has just reached 20 (around september) but has been experiencing a slow decline in the corners of my hairline for the past 2-3 years (i started noticing the slightest hint of hair loss back in 2020 even though i believe i was around a norwood 1). I am now a norwood 2-2.5 if im correct.
in my country the medicine is obtainable without a prescription. therefore i've already made the purchase of a 30-day supply of generic 5mg finasteride (planning to cut them into 4 1.25mg pieces as you have mentioned in the video). also because i have never heard of the advice not to take it before the age of 21 by anyone at all.
since you advised not to take finasteride before the age of 21, what do you suggest i do instead?
thanks.
Merck recommends 18 years as minimum age. However, companies are known to push their drugs for maximum profit. They do not take cognizance of the fact that DHT has a function till 21.
Doc. Does ketokonazol tablet block dht and does finastride effective in telogen effluvium?
Ketoconazole is a very mild DHT blocker.
Finasteride is effective in androgenic alopecia only.
Doctor, i have a question with regards to the donor area:
In one of your videos you said that those grafts which have been extracted during the anagen phase are best. So, as a patient would it be best to shave one´s head, say 3-4 days prior to the surgery? as this would make sure that only those would be visible for extraction which are in fact in this favourable anagen phase?
Yes, this is a good way to do so. The only thing that limits it's use is that patients take consultation mostly online and then come direct for a hair transplant. if they come shaven, a lot of information about their balding will be lost to the doctor.
@@hairtransplantinindia Can you please provide more details which information will be lost to the doctor? Also, what is your opinion if a patient arrived, say, 3-4 days unshaven and prior to the surgery for a consultation, and after consultation shaved the head then?
Hello sir, i had my hair transplant couple of days ago and my doctor has suggested to use finalo 1 mg from the 10th day till 1 year. Is it the same as propecia of is it different. Also he has asked me to take fish oil soft gel and vb7 forte tablet. Can u please explain about that too.
Just came across this channel and subscribed. Great content.
This seems to be Finasteride. Please check on the constituents in the package insert. I have no knowledge how the other medications will help you. Did he ask you to buy from him? If yes, it answers the question!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for the reply. Yes finalo is a company which produces finasteride. As far as fish oil and Vb7, no he didn't ask me to buy with him. He has just prescribed it and I can buy it at any local medical shop.
Yes Finasteride is important after hair transplant and most people can use it without side effects if they have been lab investigated beforehand. Please follow your doctor.
Which one will give best result :-
Finastride vs dutasteride
Dutasteride for sure since it blocks 94% DHT.
But causes 10 fold increase in side effects!
I was confused by a point in the video, if you start balding at age 18 or 19, will finasteride not help since the balding is so aggressive ?
or are you supposed to take it after age 21?
DHT has many important functions. That s why it circulates in your blood stream. The development of secondary sexual characteristics is a function of DHT. Development in males finishes at age 21.
Could you please give me prescription for finasteride consumption as i live in a remote town so it's impossible for me to consult any hair specialist. we don't have any hair specialist near by.Plz help me out with this i have been following you for a long time now.

I have grade 1 fatty liver. Can I take finasteride? I have stopped taking finasteride 6 month back because I was COVID19 postive. I want to start it again.
Yes you can take Finasteride with Grade I atty liver.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you sir.
Hey Doc, my question is.. Why do someone need to take finastaride and Minoxidil After the hair transplant for certain number of months even though the effects are temporary??
Donor hair are not fully DHT resistant. No hair is. During the growing phase, DHT can do harm and some percentage of grafts will never grow.
Hey Doc, I was wondering if you've heard about potential dementia from taking Finasteride? And have you heard about potential prostate disease since you're taking fin with a healthy prostate?
Fiansteride does not promote dementia. can you share the link where you read this! Prostate has no link with Finasteride other than it being used for treating BPH.

Doctor my dermatologist prescribed me DHT blocker
Can I take Finast (by Dr Reddy's finestride 5 mg) and cut it in 5 ???
When I visit my dermatologist medical store he only gives me dutasteride he don't sell finestride.. I took duta steride daily for 1 months and then on alternate days ..I faced no side effects ?
I am 25 year old and diffuse thining but hair line is intact
Yes you can use 5 mg and cut it in smaller pieces using the pill splitter as explained in this video.
Doctor you said in query 17 that one has to take finastride till he values his hair.. so my question is if one wants to decide to take finastride for a longer period say 10 years than it gives adverse affects to liver or kidney directly or indirectly?🙏
Thank you
Finasteride gets metabolised in the liver. If your liver is healthy, your liver enzymes SGOT, SGPT, etc. are normal, it is safe to take.
Hi doc. Could you please tell should I take finasteride because i am hypothyroidism patient and taking 150mcg levothyroxine daily?
No interaction with thyroxine.Watch:

Sir I have hair thinning on my crown i’m on finastrade for 9 months from now ! But after 8 months (November) I started to see more hair fall from all over my head( even frontal hair) . So is this a seasonal shedding . I’m worried . If yes how much time it would be in this phase ! Will the hair grow back !? Thanks in advance for ur answer
Just continue Finasteride. Do not change brands. Things will get better. What dosage are you taking?
@@hairtransplantinindia 1mg
Have you gotten any better results the last few months. I've had so much shedding after starting finasteride. Hoping it will get better
Also is there any need to be worried about finasteride inhibiting allopregenolone and GABA receptor levels in the brain via DHT pathways? I’ve heard it can increase anxiety and depression?
It is called brain fog and is uncommon.
Sir can i start using finasteride after one month of hair transplant surgery? I got my hair transplanted one month before.. but didnt use finasteride.. i used only minoxidil. So can i start now? Is it ok to use finasteride after one month of post surgery?
Yes please start immediately.
Update bro
Is Testicular pain also the side effects of fin? I used fin to cause Testicular pain what is the solution
It goes away in 4-6 weeks after starting the medication.
What about the decrease in dopamine the stream down effects like it's effects on the nervous system or the hippocampus changes
The effect of Finasteride on brain is not at all frequent. The known reasons of brain fog are explained.
Does finistriade lessen or inhibit body hair and facial hair growth in any way?
I have a video on finasteride and beard growth.
Doc m using cotton hanky to cover my head while going out but whenever I remove it I saw few hair on it and it's been 2 months 10 days after hair transplant , so m confused whether it is shedding phase or jst static current which is pulling my hair? And those hair will come back?
Everyone sheds 100 hairs each day and 100 grow back if you are not balding. The irony is that we cannot see hair that grow!
Then what a young guy of 18 years would do if he can't take finasteride or dutasteride and balding or thinning aggressively? Please reply sir Totally depressed 😔
The package insert for Finasteride and also FDA permits usage after 18 years. But you need to discuss this with your local doctor in detail. Finasteride is a prescription drug.
@@hairtransplantinindia i was prescribed dutasteride by my derma along with minox 10 percent! In my mid 18 but still i m taking this bcz loosing hairs haunts me Experienced sides at first but now after lowering dosage its quite fine with some common sides
@@Krishna99113 Thanks for the note stating your experience. All the best
Hello sir. 5 years before i had used minoxidil for 1 year. And stopped it because minoxidil hast given any results for me.Subsequently my hair loss gone worse.. Now i had done a hair transplant last week... Can i use finasteride 1 mg ALONE ..will this be effective for my existing hair and transplanted hair.
When you get a hair transplant you should use Minoxidil alongwith Finasteride for 6 months. fter that, Minoxidil may be omitted and if you have progressive baldness, only Finasteride can be continued if you have skin issues with Minoxidil.
