Finasteride works best when taken every day as prescribed, because consistent dosing maintains its effect on the hormone (DHT) that causes hair loss. Taking it every other day may reduce its effectiveness and could make hair loss resume over time. Always talk to your dermatologist before changing the dose or schedule, as stopping or reducing it on your own may reverse benefits, and hair loss can return

Finasteride Dosing and Effectiveness

Economical Alternatives
