Answer: Hair Growth Basics--prp, progesterone, hair transplantation, finasteride Yes, you can change your dose, but I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone which can help with hair regrowth and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Is it safe to cut Finasteride 5 mg into 4? Hi, It is perfectly safe and effective to take a quarter of a 5 mg pill daily of finasteride. This is usually the way I prescribe it, as it reduces the cost significantly. Dr. Robert Jones

Answer: Cutting finasteride 5 mg Yes, this method is a method used by countless numbers of men using finasteride. Ocassionally, a patient will find that Propecia 1 mg daily just works better than them splitting 5 mg pills. That doesn’t happen all too often but when it does we switch back from 5 to 1 mg.

Answer: 1.25 mg finasteride vs. 1mg finasteride It is safe, but not really advised according to Merck. Try not to let the ladies of childbearing age handle the broken pills.
