Dark circles under my eyes because of Finasteride.

January 8, 2018
Asked By:uSmanali6323 in Barcelona, ES

I’m taking finasteride n minoxidil from 2 months but from the last few days noticing dark circles under my eyes, or it always looks like I haven't slept, regardless how long I do sleep. And started to feel sleepy during all the day even after my normal sleep time. Has anyone else had these issues?

Can you miss a week or two of finasteride/dutasteride doses, and not have any negative effects?
William Rassman, MD (retired) says:

The drug finasteride stays in your body for up to a week in the hair follicles and dutasterde certainly longer than that. I don't understand; however, why you would not just take the pills with you and keep to a schedule.  Be responsible about your hair loss to yourself.
