Sir, you are Worlds Best Doctor that i have seen on UA-cam, we look forward to more and more videos from you. One day you will be the top viewed Haircare doctor on UA-cam for sure ! Dhanyavad!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank u doc. I have another question. I am 44. Can I take finasteride tablets on alternate days? Will it help ? Let me bring to your kind notice that I have got my hair transplanted on 28.04.21. I am taking follihair, applying mintop 5% everyday before going to bed
@@rajan2291 You should take 1 mg a day for 6 months. But follow your doctor's advice- he may not have felt you are eligible for Finasteride due to some reason.
Hey Doc, Why do you not prefer using topical finasteride over oral finasteride for young patients with thinning , since topical finasteride has same % of scalp DHT reduction and lesser % serum DHT reduction as compared to oral finasteride ,thereby reducing the risk of side effects...
Around 41:00 is where I believe I can pass on Finasteride 🙏 I'm satisfied with my body at 33 years old so I will not take any further risks and side effects. All the best to everyone on their hair journey. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for clearing my doubts. I'm seeing the early stages of hairloss at age 19 and I really, really don't fancy myself bald! I was worried about the side effects, but I now start on Monday.
Stop drinking and smoking. Exercise regularly. Cut down on refined carbs and sugar. Stay away from junk food, eat healthy and sleep well. I see how you could get side effects of finasteride.
Most of these guys reporting side effects are drinking and smoking or have shit lifestyle in general, that doesn't really help with processing Finasteride in liver, because Finasteride is processed by the liver and having Alcohol and Nicotine (which is a vasoconstrictor) flowing in your system is not conducive for effectiveness.
Thank you for this mega compilation of finasteride related questions and their clarifications. I sometimes feel that there is a deliberate effort to suppress any cure for hair loss or treatment for hair growth as it would lead to massive losses in revenues from sales of finasteride, minoxidil, hair vitamins, shampoos, wigs/patches/fibres, prp, hair transplants etc...
The companies that are researching hair loss have megabucks at stake to come up with a cure at the earliest and the profits will most likely far surpass any product presently available.
@@hairtransplantinindia Wow that's great news then!!! Just hope that the price of any new cure is affordable to the public at large....aisa na ho hi baal ugane ke liye ek kidney ki kurbaani deni padegi lol
@@hairtransplantinindia that's sounds very promising doctor. Question: Do you believe in the near future, any topical anti-androgen will be able to replace oral finasteride with the same effectiveness? I see some companies, are very near to complete their clinical trials (e.g. phase 3) and get fda-approval. What's your opinion? Thanks a lot for your valuable information. Keep the excellent work.
Hello guys , I have started aggressive baldness at age of 24 , so doc gave me 0.5mg Duestride everyday but I had side-effects on the 4th day I had intense testicals pain. The point to be taken note is that, The results of taking tablets where seen instantly, I used to have atleast 70-100 hair falling when I coumb in the morning which significant reduced to less then 10. I was really amazed but the side-effects couldn't be tolerated, I didn't have Ed or loss of libido I only expressed testicals pain. The duestride amplified the pains I already had like pain in lower back and legs pain. I have now taken break from it within 2 days the side-effects have gonna. So nothing scary too take it. If it works then you should have too take the risk to save you hairs
I had never seen such an honest and detailed video on finasteride, thanks for your efforts. I live in India, could you please recommend a good finasteride brand available here?
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks a lot for replying, you are the first person I’ve seen to have replied to all the comments on his video. Thanks for helpings us.
I hope he was the doctor I met 10 years ago. The clinic In Ottawa mind you, that I went to quickly went to look at my donor area, although I had a hair full of hair. When I resisted the idea of Finasteride, they didn't address it and said that hair transplant will "cure" my baldness. Now after 10 years I am watching this video, shiny bald and I am trying topical finasteride. This thing works. Parts that were all gone are coming back. maybe I am a super responder, but I am seeing good results. Will get transplant later to fill in the rest of the baldness.
Very informative. Would like to share my experience with others. I started .5mg on alternative days after a gap of 6 months. I experienced testicular pain and stopped after 10 days. I got motivated by your videos and made up mind to use again at .5mg alternative days. Thankfully no testicular pain, but pain in right calf for 2-4 days straight which now has reduced.... secondly, don't feel fresh when I get up in the morning ..as if I have a hangover.... thirdly, get blackouts when i get up from sitting positions. I am not scared or anything to use it. I wanna give it a try again for 3 months after using it for 4 years straight 1mg daily! I want to actually but all this I am experiencing wish could be avoided. I have high metabolism , eat clean, don't drink or smoke. Thanks again and it feels good to read other people's experiences .the comment section feels like a hair loss forum 😄
Thanks for the note. It is very helpful when patients give their own opinion and not just express apprehaensions they have acumulated through hearsay. I would like to see more updates about your Finasteride journey and I am sure others would like to as well. All the best.
The blackouts are because of low sodium in blood, the way you mentioned switching positions causing blackouts is exactly what happens when you are on low sodium diet. Check out The Salt Fix by Dr. James DiNicolantonio.
@@justinc2625doing fine. I thought my hair thinning is stable now so I started using Finastride on alternate days and only with in 45 days I realise that hair are thinner than before and i had no stress as such responsible for that thinning . So i have gotten back to taking it every night again.
@@johnkim6574 definitely oral topical is not effective and no regrowth only maintained hair and thicken up hair i am using my intas pharmaceutical from finalo and morr f
I've been on fianstride for 1 month and definitely am feeling the sexual side effects. I tapered down from 1 mg to 0.25 mgs x1 a day but noticed after a week that my sexual side effects have increased. At first it was just low libido but now it's hard to even maintain a boner lol. I'm 25 going to be 26 expected to get a HT soon. I'm nw3 with very thick hair. I feel kind of hopeless because of the side effects with fianstride. I want to maintain my hair and improve it but the side effects are kinda scaring me.
If it is just the hairline and no other sign of thinning, it could well be a genetically determined high forehead and no baldness. If this is so, you may not need Finasteride. Let me know if it is any different from what I presume.
@@hairtransplantinindia I dont think its just a high hair line but my mother has no edges and very thick hair. But all the men in my family are bald. I believe it's recession but it's been a NW3 since I was at least 19. I dont remember when it receded because I had long hair for awhile which did not show the hair line.
I'll be getting FUE procedure done in December. Is there a likelihood that my hairline fills in a little before my transplant? My Dr recommended 1000 to 1200 grafts for my nw3.
@@chadh6785 This makes you an ideal candidate for a hair transplant. Balding which stabilises at 25 is a rare thing. And if your baldness is stable even without Finasteride, you're lucky and can afford to take only minimal dose Finasteride; or even not at all.
@@chadh6785 Not likely that hairlines will fill in with medications. Latter can produce vellus hair, but terminal hair production at this stage is a tall order.
What Dosage do you recommend to your patients after completing 6 months after hair transplant , like vitamins, finestried, dutastaried etc … I am asking long term medication advice… considering the patient is healthy and age earlier 40s…you are the best … thank you 🙏
Hey doc, u r giving the best and honest information available out here. I really appreciate that... My question is I have been applying 5% minoxidil for the past 5-6 years but my hairs have been thinning and falling off as usual without any good results so can I stop it as I'm now taking finasteride 1mg every day post hair transplant? Please advice... Thanks
Thanks for the precise and informative snippets that you have compiled for finasteride , Dr Bhatti .You are doing a wonderful job . I would not expect a detailed answer from you for a youtube comment , but ill go ahead anyways. there seem to be a group of people including me who been using finasteride for the past 1 year and having good maintenance , only to see , not only shedding but also miniaturization to a certain degree since the psat 2 months. Due to this I have resorted to combining fin 1mg daily with dut 0.5mg once a week. As you have mentioned that the mind could govern the body in funny ways ,i started "noticing" that my facial hair growth has reduced minimally and my face has become a bit more rounder since starting Dut for the past 2 months. Any sort of anecdotal evidence from your patient care experince is welcome. Have a good day!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video on my channel. Dutasteride blocks 94% DHT which causes facial hair and which maintains it. No this is never a concern with Finasteride since it blocks just 70%. The round appearance of the face could be since you are losing beard hair or they are thinning and this is changing the profile of your face. But it can also be due to higher levels of estrogen consequent to the DHT combination you are using. Time to get these levels checked.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for an almost immediate and elaborate explanation on the issue at hand , Dr Bhatti ! Going in depth into the video I have also noticed that you mentioned changing brands could lead to a huge amount of shedding , which ix almost exactly what happened to me . Ill keep up our doctors code of conduct and not mention the brand names . Im a junior to you in regards to experience , and in a different department , and sure do hope there are senior consultants like you who give good advice. Thank you.🙏🙏🙏
When you say “have a 15 day break every three months”, do we just stop cold turkey for the 25 days and then carry on as normal? Does everyone take breaks? Do you? Thanks.
Hello Doctor, thank you very much for providing us with all that info for free! I appreciate it. I would like to ask you if progesterone levels are affected by finasteride?
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you for your answer, as I had slightly higher progesterone (2.79 ng/mL), do you think it is going to be an issue if I use fin? My test level was 6.49 ng/mL and my E2 was 24.95 pg/mL. PS. I am lean built and I am working out for years.
Doctor, you are truly one of the best source of information and knowledge on the web for us young men with hair loss. I could not be more thankful for stumbling on your channel. My question to you is what the maximum level of estradiol and minimum level of testosterone one should have in order to start using finasteride. And secondly, I am a 21 year old men with a Norwood 2 balding and I was prescribed a dose of 0,25mg finasteride every day in order to minimize sides. Do you think this will be enough for my relatively low balding scale? Thank you in andvance!
Thanks. Hormonal levels are no indication for dosing of Finasteride. They only help rule out pre existing hypogonadism or provlivity to get sides like ED and gynecomastia. I would be hesitant in starting a patient with total testosterone level less than 400 ng/dL on long term oral Finasteride. For microdosing I have assembled all my practical knowedge here: ua-cam.com/video/GwbYW3D6OJI/v-deo.html
Hi Doctor, thanks for the valuable information. Can you pls clarify the below- 1. Exactly after how many days of hair transplant, the Finasteride and Minoxidil dosage should start? 2. Is it recommended to use both Minoxidil and Finasteride together after hair transplant for 6 months on daily basis OR should these be taken in alternate days- (One day Finasteride and next day Minoxidil)?
Minoxidil to be started after crusts come off around 14 days post procedure. Finasteride after 5 days of hair transplant once antibiotics are over. The recommendation is to take them daily.
Thank you for your informative video Dr. Bhatti! I'd like to ask for your advice. I'm on a 1 month break from propecia (I previously heard that you can take a 1 month break after the 5th/6th month. I started taking finasteride (propecia) 3 times per week about 5 months ago). After the break, I'm thinking about switching to proscar, due to the price difference. On question 35, you stated that switching brands may cause intense shedding (In my case, both the propecia and proscar have the same licencee company written on the box). After the 1 month break, if I continue with proscar instead, will I still be taking a risk of shedding or other side effects? I would appreciate your feedback.
Shedding is not likely since the company Merck has the same isomorphic form of Finasteride for propecia and proscar. But I am curious to know how you will be splitting the 5 mg proscar tablet into 0.5 mg pieces!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you Dr. Bhatti! I will try my best to split the proscar tablets into 4-5 pieces with a pill splitter or knife. I hope that cutting the pills will not significantly reduce the efficacy of proscar..
Hi sir, wanted to know does finastride regrow hairs that are gone ? How do we know if that area might still be active for regrowth by finastride or not ?
These biological products that are available in nature are more of placebos as compared to pharmacological grade medications. The blockage if at all will be minimal and not what those on Finasteride would expect. When you have hair loss, time is against your plans to meddle with these.
you talk about the filmcote on the tablets for protection in stomach. Does that mean that cutting a 1mg in half is not a good idea? One side will be exposed without filmcoating.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks. I need to take 0,5 due to side effects så what is best in your opinion, cut 1mg I half every day or 1mg every other day? I cant get 0,5 perscripted.
So doc, the key message that I got from your video is that if a person excercises then he can naturally block any potential side affects of finastride.
I wonder how you arrived at that cnclusion. Can you send me at which point in the video you got this impression so I can clarify. You can go through this video till then: ua-cam.com/video/DeCJ1f5TRcM/v-deo.html Thanks for watching my videos.
I am 21 years old .i am noticing receding hairline .not serve though .my father also got receded hair line .so i think it runs in the gene .so how do I start , 1 mg every other day or 3 times a week or 2 times a week .?
You need to first get a battery of tests done and consult a doctor to see if you are the right candidate for Finasteride. Watch: ua-cam.com/video/xmj7uEWAvDc/v-deo.html
It does not help. It gets absorbed into the blood stream just like oral. You waste precious time while falling prey to hearsay. We all seek the easier way out from our predicament It is mostly the wrong path. Companies benefit by our insecurities since there is so much money to be made selling topicals.
@@hairtransplantinindia thank you very much for your answer. To understand it correctly; Topically works in prinzciple (because it gets into the bloodstream like oral) but you recommend oral fin. for reasons of Cost and simplicity?
@@klartext4682 Why rub it into skin when the chief purpose to use it is so it does not get systemic (into the blood stream) and cause ED! Cost is not a factor to the clientele I treat.
@@hairtransplantinindia I have understood. Money is for me also not a factor. I had a Hairtranplantation about 5 Weeks ago and i want to get the best aftercare for me. My Doc. advised me to take finasteride oral just like you. I have started now. Im optimistic to get no sides. Thank you a lot for your time.
Hello Doctor Thank you so much for the great videos and Information you give us! I’m 35 years old I’ve just had a hair transplant in Bulgaria and bought 5mg finasteride accord tablets to break into 4 pieces 1.25mg. The pills I have are in circle, so they won’t be different amount everyday, but my question is: Is it too much to have 1.25mg a day instead of 1 mg? As they don’t sell 1mg in Bulgaria 🇧🇬 Will go back to England where I live in 4 days and will buy 1mg from there the same brand accord if I have to, but the price is 100 times more, but as i started these 1.25 already. I Can always move to 1mg in England as long it’s safer though 😊 Thank you so much 🙏
It's already over 4 days and I hope you have bought 1 mg tablets. Sorry for the delay. The answer to your original question is here: ua-cam.com/video/xmj7uEWAvDc/v-deo.htmlsi=GSRPLEOWWJoHOmPz
I still feel unsure about the question at 19:40. It seems like the video cut off prematurely or something. So is 1.3mg per day okay? I’ve been splitting a 5mg pill and that was one of my concerns.
@@hairtransplantinindia Sweet, thanks for the reply. I saw a specialist who told me to get on a consistent amount, so to not break up the pills since they’re not homogenous necessarily. But always good to get other perspectives.
The answer is case specific. In excess testosterone will be converted to estrogen. Excess estrogen in those who are obese, with borderline hypogonadism and leading a sedentary lifestyle is a recipe for problems.
Doctor, I watched the entire video here my question is can one take Minoxidil and Tab Fin without consulting a Dr and without doing any tests( or only free and total testosterone tests for future assessment) with alternate dosing of finesteride and a positive mindset, as u said only 0.5% will see possible side effects.Does this help in diffuse pattern alopecia?
Great video. One of the original purposes of Proscar was to reduce the size of the prostate which can have various health benefits like less frequent urination. In addition to blocking DHT which causes hair loss does Finasteride in 1 mg dosage decrease the size of the prostate?
I’m on TRT and about to start finasteride I’m nervous and excited not sure if I will need more estrogen control or not will have to see. I feel well informed thanks to research and a couple lectures from this awesome doctor and I also get regular blood work. I just hope if I do get sides that they will go away with discontinue of use. It’s the “post finasteride syndrome” that is the most worrisome but this doc doesn’t believe in it and I trust him for better or worse.
Dr I'm 19 years old started finasteride 5 months ago. My question is can I maintaine my hair untill I reach my 30s. I catch it at very early stage. Sorry for my English.
I am 26 years old. I had two hair tansplants, one in the front and one in the crown. Doctors have advised me finasteride 1mg 3 days a week. What should i do to maintain my transplanted hair and how I can stop finasteride resistance in my body
If finastraid work properly..how much time will it take to stop hair loss.i,m not saying it will shown in 3 months.i,m saying on verious expreminet..how much time will it take
Doctor iam 3 months on finastried can take break 2 week and rertun back ? and can happen Cold turkey or some thing about this during break 2 week ? Please answer
Great video thank you. Subbed! I’m 37 and been on 1.25mg of Fin for 19 days now. Noticed slight thinning for 6 months before starting. Now I think I’m starting shedding (around 150/200 hairs per day this week). Im wondering why blocking DHT tends to promote a shed? I understand blocking DHT will stop ‘polluting’ the growth of current and new hairs, but why does it promote the shedding? Is it because now the new hair “seeds” are no longer poisoned by DHT and are able to grow so the body sheds old hairs to make way for the new upcoming hairs?
Its because the DHT blockade allows the root to get healthier and robust. The root grows a stronger hair and this detaches from the previous. It leads to shedding.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you so much for answering :) I really hope this means my drastic sudden increase in falling hairs so early into taking Fin is a good sign. It never fell like this before Fin. If I weren’t taking Fin, I assume these hairs would have slowly fallen out eventually anyway and just not had a chance to be replaced. May I ask a final question, am I right to assume the percentage of shedded hairs that will successfully regrow is genetic. I guess some people get little to no regrowth where some may see 100% and even extra hairs growing back?
@@44daggers44 Shedding is a good sign when it happens after starting Finasteride. It is also a good sign after a hair transplant. It denotes life within- within the root that is active. Just as the tree that sheds and then after the cruel winter grows new bright green leaves.
@@hairtransplantinindia I’m so grateful to have this information. Thank you sir. I love analogies too :) I guess I’m needing to rug up for my winter. Long term view in mind!
Your breast glands are removed during gynecomastia surgery. When there is no beast tissue, there will be no sides with Finasteride. Even then they are very rare.
Doctor, I have been taking 0.5 mg of finasteride for a month. I've had some effects like trouble breathing and hunger, but they have subsided. In the last couple days, I've got a new troubling side effect, which is brain fog and sleepiness. It's very difficult for me to concentrate for most of the day. In your experience, does brain fog eventually subside? I'm willing to fight through this if so, but other wise I guess I have to stop. Any suggestions, would be appreciated. (Also, I have OCD and Aspergers.)
I hope the OCD is not causing you to worry inordinatley? But if it has been only for the last couple days, give it time. Give it the time to readjust. One month more.
Could you please give me prescription for finasteride consumption as i live in a remote town so it's impossible for me to consult any hair specialist. we don't have any hair specialist near by.Plz help me out with this i have been following you for a long time now.
Hello sir! Thank you for the video it was indeed very informative.. you mentioned about starting with a low dose of finasteride. Can you tell us what do you mean by a low dose? How low would you recommend to begin with?
@@hairtransplantinindia dear sir, I have been taking the dose as advised by you. However i have been experiencing muscle twitching since the last 2-3 weeks more of it in the left part of my head right about my ears. Please advise me as to what should i do now?
@@hairtransplantinindia I’ve been on propecia for 3 months post transplant! I also take a dim supplement for acne and possibly gyno so just making sure you haven’t heard it reacts with propecia ..
Doctor, I'd like to follow your switch-off-protocol to prevent the build up of dutestaride, however, I'm reading the half life of dutestaride lasts 6 months. How often do you suggest the switch off and for how long? (I'm currently taking dut 0.5 every 72 hours). P.D thank you so so much for this, I was extremely anxious about my dht fluctuations.
Its much less as explained in the video. 15 days is enough for Finasteride. For Dutasteride you can stop for 4 weeks every 3 months if you have sides. Dutasteride is a stonger DHT blocker so you will need to observe what suits you best. Consult your prescribing doctor.
I just started Finesteride today , only the 5mg dosage are available in my country. I took one tablet this afternoon. I will take its once per week. Is this ok Doctor ?
I have grade 1 fatty liver. Can I take finasteride? I have stopped taking finasteride 6 month back because I was COVID19 postive. I want to start it again.
Hi doctor, as taking finasteride is very important after having a hair transplant to keep your original hair….should I try finasteride for a period before I have a hair transplant to ensure I don’t suffer any side effects? There would be little point having a hair transplant if I cannot take finasteride…am I right?
Sir i m 19 year i am suffering from mbp and have little crown and receding hairline. My doctor suggested me multivitamin, dutamax lotion ( topical dutasteried 0.025% w/h), and 5% minoxidil. So, how much year i can delay male pattern baldness? Or is there any side effects of topical dutasteried bcoz i m feeling low sex may be it just psychological).cuz I dont want to lose my remaining hair at this early age 😢.
If you are young, I will advis ethat you start with Finasteride 0.5 m on alternate days since it does nt block off as much DHT as Dutasteride does. This will further greatly minimise side effects. Please watch- ua-cam.com/video/cPWmhkYEiUw/v-deo.html
Also is there any need to be worried about finasteride inhibiting allopregenolone and GABA receptor levels in the brain via DHT pathways? I’ve heard it can increase anxiety and depression?
Hi Doctor requesting your guidance on this, As per your recommendation we should take finasteride late at night so that it negates the effect of testosterone level in the morning But I workout in the evening, so what do you recommend will be the best time to take finasteride for me After breakfast After lunch Or at night ( as you prescribed generally) Really appreciate your response , thanks in advance
No, you can use Finasteride/Dutasteride in consultation with your treating GE physician but be careful of the dosage since metabolism is affected and drug will pile up in the body with higher likelihood of side effects.
Hello sir, i had my hair transplant couple of days ago and my doctor has suggested to use finalo 1 mg from the 10th day till 1 year. Is it the same as propecia of is it different. Also he has asked me to take fish oil soft gel and vb7 forte tablet. Can u please explain about that too. Just came across this channel and subscribed. Great content.
This seems to be Finasteride. Please check on the constituents in the package insert. I have no knowledge how the other medications will help you. Did he ask you to buy from him? If yes, it answers the question!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for the reply. Yes finalo is a company which produces finasteride. As far as fish oil and Vb7, no he didn't ask me to buy with him. He has just prescribed it and I can buy it at any local medical shop.
Yes Finasteride is important after hair transplant and most people can use it without side effects if they have been lab investigated beforehand. Please follow your doctor.
Yes it will be worse. Imagine where your hair loss would be after all these years when you were not on Finasteride. That is the condition you will reach in 30-60 days!

@@hairtransplantinindia Wow that's great news then!!! Just hope that the price of any new cure is affordable to the public at large....aisa na ho hi baal ugane ke liye ek kidney ki kurbaani deni padegi lol
@@hairtransplantinindia that's sounds very promising doctor. Question: Do you believe in the near future, any topical anti-androgen will be able to replace oral finasteride with the same effectiveness? I see some companies, are very near to complete their clinical trials (e.g. phase 3) and get fda-approval. What's your opinion? Thanks a lot for your valuable information. Keep the excellent work.
@@stephanosss Plichem already has launched a topical Finasteride in Europe. But no positive reviews yet.
Hello guys , I have started aggressive baldness at age of 24 , so doc gave me 0.5mg Duestride everyday but I had side-effects on the 4th day I had intense testicals pain. The point to be taken note is that, The results of taking tablets where seen instantly, I used to have atleast 70-100 hair falling when I coumb in the morning which significant reduced to less then 10. I was really amazed but the side-effects couldn't be tolerated, I didn't have Ed or loss of libido I only expressed testicals pain. The duestride amplified the pains I already had like pain in lower back and legs pain.
I have now taken break from it within 2 days the side-effects have gonna. So nothing scary too take it. If it works then you should have too take the risk to save you hairs
I had never seen such an honest and detailed video on finasteride, thanks for your efforts. I live in India, could you please recommend a good finasteride brand available here?

So ...how was your experience ?
Hey.. how'd it go?
U used? @@shivamtiwari6412
So detailed I love it
Thanks for watching.
I hope he was the doctor I met 10 years ago. The clinic In Ottawa mind you, that I went to quickly went to look at my donor area, although I had a hair full of hair. When I resisted the idea of Finasteride, they didn't address it and said that hair transplant will "cure" my baldness. Now after 10 years I am watching this video, shiny bald and I am trying topical finasteride. This thing works. Parts that were all gone are coming back. maybe I am a super responder, but I am seeing good results. Will get transplant later to fill in the rest of the baldness.
Thank you for the note and for sharing your valuable experience.
Keep your scalp clear of any sebum or build up while applying topical for maximum results
@@Tate525 yup, also I use anti dandruff shampoo to keep the scalp clean.
Very informative.
Would like to share my experience with others.
I started .5mg on alternative days after a gap of 6 months.
I experienced testicular pain and stopped after 10 days.
I got motivated by your videos and made up mind to use again at .5mg alternative days.
Thankfully no testicular pain, but pain in right calf for 2-4 days straight which now has reduced.... secondly, don't feel fresh when I get up in the morning ..as if I have a hangover.... thirdly, get blackouts when i get up from sitting positions.
I am not scared or anything to use it. I wanna give it a try again for 3 months after using it for 4 years straight 1mg daily!
I want to actually but all this I am experiencing wish could be avoided.
I have high metabolism , eat clean, don't drink or smoke.
Thanks again and it feels good to read other people's experiences .the comment section feels like a hair loss forum 😄
Thanks for the note. It is very helpful when patients give their own opinion and not just express apprehaensions they have acumulated through hearsay. I would like to see more updates about your Finasteride journey and I am sure others would like to as well. All the best.
The blackouts are because of low sodium in blood, the way you mentioned switching positions causing blackouts is exactly what happens when you are on low sodium diet. Check out The Salt Fix by Dr. James DiNicolantonio.

I've been on fianstride for 1 month and definitely am feeling the sexual side effects.

I want to maintain my hair and improve it but the side effects are kinda scaring me.
If it is just the hairline and no other sign of thinning, it could well be a genetically determined high forehead and no baldness. If this is so, you may not need Finasteride. Let me know if it is any different from what I presume.
@@hairtransplantinindia I dont think its just a high hair line but my mother has no edges and very thick hair. But all the men in my family are bald. I believe it's recession but it's been a NW3 since I was at least 19. I dont remember when it receded because I had long hair for awhile which did not show the hair line.
I'll be getting FUE procedure done in December. Is there a likelihood that my hairline fills in a little before my transplant? My Dr recommended 1000 to 1200 grafts for my nw3.
@@chadh6785 This makes you an ideal candidate for a hair transplant. Balding which stabilises at 25 is a rare thing. And if your baldness is stable even without Finasteride, you're lucky and can afford to take only minimal dose Finasteride; or even not at all.
@@chadh6785 Not likely that hairlines will fill in with medications. Latter can produce vellus hair, but terminal hair production at this stage is a tall order.

If 40 and baldness is stable, there is absolutely no need to continue medication.
Thank you for the detailed informations. Do you recommend dutasteride mesotherapy for your patients?
No I only recommend evidence based treatment that I have used on my patients and which I feel will work.
Hey doc, u r giving the best and honest information available out here.
I really appreciate that...
My question is I have been applying 5% minoxidil for the past 5-6 years but my hairs have been thinning and falling off as usual without any good results so can I stop it as I'm now taking finasteride 1mg every day post hair transplant?
Please advice...
Thanks
You should apply 5% Minoxidil for 6-9 months after a hair transplant. this will give better result.
Thanks for the precise and informative snippets that you have compiled for finasteride , Dr Bhatti .You are doing a wonderful job . I would not expect a detailed answer from you for a youtube comment , but ill go ahead anyways. there seem to be a group of people including me who been using finasteride for the past 1 year and having good maintenance , only to see , not only shedding but also miniaturization to a certain degree since the psat 2 months. Due to this I have resorted to combining fin 1mg daily with dut 0.5mg once a week. As you have mentioned that the mind could govern the body in funny ways ,i started "noticing" that my facial hair growth has reduced minimally and my face has become a bit more rounder since starting Dut for the past 2 months. Any sort of anecdotal evidence from your patient care experince is welcome. Have a good day!
Thank you for your kind words and for watching the video on my channel.
Dutasteride blocks 94% DHT which causes facial hair and which maintains it. No this is never a concern with Finasteride since it blocks just 70%. The round appearance of the face could be since you are losing beard hair or they are thinning and this is changing the profile of your face. But it can also be due to higher levels of estrogen consequent to the DHT combination you are using. Time to get these levels checked.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for an almost immediate and elaborate explanation on the issue at hand , Dr Bhatti ! Going in depth into the video I have also noticed that you mentioned changing brands could lead to a huge amount of shedding , which ix almost exactly what happened to me . Ill keep up our doctors code of conduct and not mention the brand names . Im a junior to you in regards to experience , and in a different department , and sure do hope there are senior consultants like you who give good advice. Thank you.🙏🙏🙏
When you say “have a 15 day break every three months”, do we just stop cold turkey for the 25 days and then carry on as normal? Does everyone take breaks? Do you? Thanks.
Yes I do too and have been doing the same since 2008
Hello Doctor, thank you very much for providing us with all that info for free! I appreciate it. I would like to ask you if progesterone levels are affected by finasteride?
Yes it most certainly does. Thank you for watching.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you for your answer, as I had slightly higher progesterone (2.79 ng/mL), do you think it is going to be an issue if I use fin? My test level was 6.49 ng/mL and my E2 was 24.95 pg/mL. PS. I am lean built and I am working out for years.
Doctor, you are truly one of the best source of information and knowledge on the web for us young men with hair loss. I could not be more thankful for stumbling on your channel. My question to you is what the maximum level of estradiol and minimum level of testosterone one should have in order to start using finasteride. And secondly, I am a 21 year old men with a Norwood 2 balding and I was prescribed a dose of 0,25mg finasteride every day in order to minimize sides. Do you think this will be enough for my relatively low balding scale? Thank you in andvance!
Thanks. Hormonal levels are no indication for dosing of Finasteride. They only help rule out pre existing hypogonadism or provlivity to get sides like ED and gynecomastia. I would be hesitant in starting a patient with total testosterone level less than 400 ng/dL on long term oral Finasteride. For microdosing I have assembled all my practical knowedge here: ua-cam.com/video/GwbYW3D6OJI/v-deo.html
Hi Doctor, thanks for the valuable information. Can you pls clarify the below-
1. Exactly after how many days of hair transplant, the Finasteride and Minoxidil dosage should start?
2. Is it recommended to use both Minoxidil and Finasteride together after hair transplant for 6 months on daily basis OR should these be taken in alternate days- (One day Finasteride and next day Minoxidil)?
Minoxidil to be started after crusts come off around 14 days post procedure. Finasteride after 5 days of hair transplant once antibiotics are over. The recommendation is to take them daily.
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your informative video Dr. Bhatti! I'd like to ask for your advice. I'm on a 1 month break from propecia (I previously heard that you can take a 1 month break after the 5th/6th month. I started taking finasteride (propecia) 3 times per week about 5 months ago). After the break, I'm thinking about switching to proscar, due to the price difference. On question 35, you stated that switching brands may cause intense shedding (In my case, both the propecia and proscar have the same licencee company written on the box). After the 1 month break, if I continue with proscar instead, will I still be taking a risk of shedding or other side effects? I would appreciate your feedback.
Shedding is not likely since the company Merck has the same isomorphic form of Finasteride for propecia and proscar. But I am curious to know how you will be splitting the 5 mg proscar tablet into 0.5 mg pieces!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you Dr. Bhatti! I will try my best to split the proscar tablets into 4-5 pieces with a pill splitter or knife. I hope that cutting the pills will not significantly reduce the efficacy of proscar..

Hi doc ,I have 1 question does nettle root supplement blocks estrogen ?
These biological products that are available in nature are more of placebos as compared to pharmacological grade medications. The blockage if at all will be minimal and not what those on Finasteride would expect. When you have hair loss, time is against your plans to meddle with these.
you talk about the filmcote on the tablets for protection in stomach. Does that mean that cutting a 1mg in half is not a good idea? One side will be exposed without filmcoating.
Film coating is more to prevent pregnant females from exposure. It is always better to use 1 mg tablet without splitting.

Hello Doctor
Thank you so much for the great videos and
Information you give us!
I’m 35 years old
I’ve just had a hair transplant in Bulgaria and bought 5mg finasteride accord tablets to break into 4 pieces 1.25mg.
The pills I have are in circle, so
they won’t be different amount everyday, but my question is: Is it too much to have 1.25mg a day instead of 1 mg?
As they don’t sell 1mg in Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Will go back to England where I live in 4 days and will buy 1mg from there the same brand accord if I have to, but the price is 100 times more, but as i started these 1.25 already. I Can always move to 1mg in England as long it’s safer though 😊
Thank you so much 🙏
It's already over 4 days and I hope you have bought 1 mg tablets. Sorry for the delay. The answer to your original question is here: ua-cam.com/video/xmj7uEWAvDc/v-deo.htmlsi=GSRPLEOWWJoHOmPz
I still feel unsure about the question at 19:40. It seems like the video cut off prematurely or something. So is 1.3mg per day okay? I’ve been splitting a 5mg pill and that was one of my concerns.
Yes it is fine. Many patients use this dosage that varies from 0.9 to 1.3 mg a day
@@hairtransplantinindia Sweet, thanks for the reply. I saw a specialist who told me to get on a consistent amount, so to not break up the pills since they’re not homogenous necessarily. But always good to get other perspectives.

Sir fin induces epigenetic changes can those be reversed by lifestyle
I never knew it does!
Does finasteride cause more e2 conversion? Will I need more AI if I start finasteride?
The answer is case specific. In excess testosterone will be converted to estrogen. Excess estrogen in those who are obese, with borderline hypogonadism and leading a sedentary lifestyle is a recipe for problems.
Does derma rolling + topical finastride increase availability of finastride for the scalp and hair.
Topical Finasteride never worked.

Yes you may if you are otherwise healthy, of lean built, do not have ED and have an active lifestyle.
How is ur condition now did finasteride cause side effects
Great video!
Thanks!
Great video. One of the original purposes of Proscar was to reduce the size of the prostate which can have various health benefits like less frequent urination. In addition to blocking DHT which causes hair loss does Finasteride in 1 mg dosage decrease the size of the prostate?
1 mg is insufficient for this purpose. Thanks for the comment.
I’m on TRT and about to start finasteride I’m nervous and excited not sure if I will need more estrogen control or not will have to see. I feel well informed thanks to research and a couple lectures from this awesome doctor and I also get regular blood work. I just hope if I do get sides that they will go away with discontinue of use. It’s the “post finasteride syndrome” that is the most worrisome but this doc doesn’t believe in it and I trust him for better or worse.
In those who re physically fit, and on TRT and Finasteride, side effects seldom exist. Unless ofcourse you are young and have hypogonadism.

I’m 37 and been on 1.25mg of Fin for 19 days now. Noticed slight thinning for 6 months before starting. Now I think I’m starting shedding (around 150/200 hairs per day this week). Im wondering why blocking DHT tends to promote a shed? I understand blocking DHT will stop ‘polluting’ the growth of current and new hairs, but why does it promote the shedding? Is it because now the new hair “seeds” are no longer poisoned by DHT and are able to grow so the body sheds old hairs to make way for the new upcoming hairs?
Its because the DHT blockade allows the root to get healthier and robust. The root grows a stronger hair and this detaches from the previous. It leads to shedding.
@@hairtransplantinindia Thank you so much for answering :) I really hope this means my drastic sudden increase in falling hairs so early into taking Fin is a good sign. It never fell like this before Fin. If I weren’t taking Fin, I assume these hairs would have slowly fallen out eventually anyway and just not had a chance to be replaced. May I ask a final question, am I right to assume the percentage of shedded hairs that will successfully regrow is genetic. I guess some people get little to no regrowth where some may see 100% and even extra hairs growing back?
@@44daggers44 Shedding is a good sign when it happens after starting Finasteride. It is also a good sign after a hair transplant. It denotes life within- within the root that is active. Just as the tree that sheds and then after the cruel winter grows new bright green leaves.

Your breast glands are removed during gynecomastia surgery. When there is no beast tissue, there will be no sides with Finasteride. Even then they are very rare.
Doctor, I have been taking 0.5 mg of finasteride for a month. I've had some effects like trouble breathing and hunger, but they have subsided. In the last couple days, I've got a new troubling side effect, which is brain fog and sleepiness. It's very difficult for me to concentrate for most of the day. In your experience, does brain fog eventually subside? I'm willing to fight through this if so, but other wise I guess I have to stop. Any suggestions, would be appreciated. (Also, I have OCD and Aspergers.)
I hope the OCD is not causing you to worry inordinatley? But if it has been only for the last couple days, give it time. Give it the time to readjust. One month more.
Hope you are doing well. Any updates on side effects

It is called brain fog and is uncommon.
Hi Doctor requesting your guidance on this,
As per your recommendation we should take finasteride late at night so that it negates the effect of testosterone level in the morning
But I workout in the evening, so what do you recommend will be the best time to take finasteride for me
After breakfast
After lunch
Or at night ( as you prescribed generally)
Really appreciate your response , thanks in advance
Just before you go to bed at night.
Hello
I have a Gilbert's syndrome (very high bilirubin in liver)
Is it safe to take finasteride ?
Thank you!!!
No, you can use Finasteride/Dutasteride in consultation with your treating GE physician but be careful of the dosage since metabolism is affected and drug will pile up in the body with higher likelihood of side effects.

Just came across this channel and subscribed. Great content.
This seems to be Finasteride. Please check on the constituents in the package insert. I have no knowledge how the other medications will help you. Did he ask you to buy from him? If yes, it answers the question!
@@hairtransplantinindia Thanks for the reply. Yes finalo is a company which produces finasteride. As far as fish oil and Vb7, no he didn't ask me to buy with him. He has just prescribed it and I can buy it at any local medical shop.
Yes Finasteride is important after hair transplant and most people can use it without side effects if they have been lab investigated beforehand. Please follow your doctor.

Will Hairloss be more worse if u were not finasteride?

Imagine where your hair loss would be after all these years when you were not on Finasteride. That is the condition you will reach in 30-60 days!
