1.25mg daily or 5mg three times a week

Edit: to be clear I’m talking about finasteride, not minoxidil

Stuck with 5mg daily as prescribed and had results I was happy with, but had side effects.

Last couple weeks I’ve been doing Mon/Wed/Fri and feel like the side effects have eased some, but want your opinions before I accidentally lose too many gains.

Is the consensus here high dose a few times a week or low dose daily

Edit: I got my numbers crossed with a different prescription, I was taking 1mg a day up until recently so now I’ve been taking 1mg 3x a week
