Hi, I take my Finasteride at 2:51pm everyday except for today as I was extremely busy and I wasn’t home I took it at 5:22pm is that bad? Will it lose its effectiveness? Should I got back to my regular time at 2:51? Or, does it matter?

Answer: Taking finasteride at the same time everyday As with any daily medication, plan to take it at about the same general time of day. Such as morning, midday, evening, or before bed. Extreme precision isn’t necessary. Though I applaud your commitment!

Answer: Daily Dosing Many medications, Finasteride included, don't require an exact daily time regimine. Generally, if you're within an hour or so either way it is best. However, if you're within a few hours either way each day you'll be fine. Get past 12 hours late, skip the dose and start again at regular time. This also will not pose a problem with Finasteride unless it becomes a frequent issue. Timing of all medications you take is a good issue to understand. Good to hear you take your health so seriously. Warmly, Arbella Sarkis, MD
