Question for you guys that use finasteride on AND off cycle

ad

What doses do y'all use when on AND off? I use .25 mg off cycle, and it seems to keep the hairloss at bay. I shed a couple here and there, but am scared to bump up the dose due to potential side effects. When ON cycle, would it be smart to take, say, 2 mg of finasteride a day? If one were to do a simple cycle of 500mg Test E a week, and was prone to MPB, would 2 mg be ideal? Thanks a bunch.

i believe my wife did a write up somewhere on here on fina for women and cycling, i know its not about men but it translates well. she uses 1/2 to 1mg while on depending on what she runs. fina is a fairly safe, low side med. accept for a few things. no woman who ever intends to have children or is pregnant should ever be exposed to it. it can and will cause birth defects. so this is a med that should only be used if do not want children or your partner doesnt as it does pass in ejaculatory fluids. 2mg on cycle, would be fine with little risk to sides. if its just a standard test cycle 1.5 should be more than good enough. now if you are already losing it naturally 2 would be ideal, the mean, and half life is relatively decent so if you experience sides, discontinue for 48 hours than go back to the dose you were fine at.

I do Dutasteride both on and off cycle... 0.5 mg once daily. It serves a dual purpose: keeps hair loss under control, but primarily to prevent enlarged prostate.

The Duta ever cause any sexual sides?

Have you checked the recommended dosage for average men?
