How will I know when to stop Finasteride ? Dr Tejinder Bhatti Explains in detail

- How do you know when to stop taking Finasteride? No medicine should be taken if it is not needed and so this test is well worth it.
The baldness gene expresses differently in different people. In some it reveals itself in very young age and in others in middle age. Similarly there are phases when it becomes dormant or goes to sleep.
So when you are in the remission phase, you can take a Finasteride break. But how will you know when to go off the drug?
after I published my last video titled- “When will my baldness gene switch off!”
People keep taking medication and that is a good thing since you are sure that you are doing the best you can.
But there are some who are uncomfortable taking medications. For them they wish to know if there is a likelihood of their discontinuing if the baldness has slowed down, stabilised or as more eloquently or dramatically put- “switch off”!
However, going ‘cold turkey’ when the gene is still active can have ill effects.
As we all know Finasteride blocks only 73% DHT and hence hair fall will continue. Whether your baldness has stabilised or you are on Finasteride hair fall continues. Shedding is actually natural and the hair cycle will make you lose 100 hairs a day and 100 will grow back. This should not be cause for worry.
But when you start to notice that you have far less hair fall than before, it is time to take a test. To test if the baldness gene has switched off.
Like most of my patients, I am sure you too stop Finasteride for 15 days after every 3 months of taking it religiously. If that be the case, extend this period to 4 weeks and see if hair fall is excessive. If not, prolong this to 6 weeks and then if all is still well, to 8 weeks.
Finasteride is flushed out of the body in maximum 60 days or 8 weeks after stopping it.
If the hair fall is the same as before and you feel, stopping has not made a difference, it is time to take a break since your baldness gene is now hibernating.
I do recommend it.
But always remember that the gene may hibernate or go to sleep for a while, but never really switches off. But after the age of 35 till you are 55, there is in most patients a respite from the relentless onslaught of genetic baldness.
This window period is the time you can consider to be off medication if you must.

Hello Dr, I’ve had a transplant in July 21 and been 1 mg finasteride for the last one year I have no significant hair fall . I had got all the tests mentioned in your video done before starting finasteride. I’m 39 years old no side effects as such. Should I continue taking finasteride or taper down the dosage or stop it.
Doctor, what do you think about pfsfoundation? They have some research articles about effects on adrenaline and neural/dna changes.
I’ve been on 1mg finasteride daily for 18 years. Hair loss stabilized since first year. Now find it hard to lose weight in chest and belly areas even with exercise. Would switching to 1mg 3x a week help with that without affecting hair?
Cutting-edge Science as always doctor I don’t know why we don’t hear this kind of very critical information from other doctors ,keep going and best regards.
i took a 6 months break without noticing any major loss but got back on it just because i was worried my hair loss would return.
Thank you for this information again !
Can't we use CRISPR technology to switch off the baldness gene?
I sleep at 10 pm and wake at 6 am, when shall I take my finasteride dosage in the 24 hrs?
Hello Doctor! I recently started watching your videos and they are helpful! I want to mention that I have aggressive hair loss, which started from the age of 16. I am now 21. I am 20 months into oral Finasteride and I am using minoxidil as well. The thing is that my dht blood levels reversed back to my baseline levels. When I started taking Finasteride, my internal DHT levels were being reduced constantly about 44%, but now as I said, they are back into the baseline. Also, it’s been 5-6 months that I am losing my density again which Finasteride gave me. So, definitely I started seeing a decline into my results. I am thinking of adding Dutasteride once a week. Could it be helpful? Thank you very much.
Please please please open a office in Delhi..
Sir which brand of finestride should we take in india
You are the best doctor of hair in my life I have a full faith on you thanks for good information
Great advice 👍 and very informative 👍
Sounds great. I didn't quite get the last part of the video though: when you said "taking advantage of this period between 35 and 55 years of age", did you mean going off the drug for as long as possible because it may be temporarily not needed or actually continue in low dosage to get maxium benefits? I.e. better regrowth with low dosage thanks to sleeping balding gene or half-asleep balding gene.
Hi doctor, have you done hair transplant on yourself or do you use minoxidil or finastride yourself ? If no why not, if yes please share your experiences. Please make a video if possible. Love your work. Thank you
Amazing!
Thank you so much doctor..you are legend ..
Thanks for your dedication and continuous insight.
