Can You Be Immune to Finasteride? | The Hair Loss Show 

No

@@LarsRyeJeppesen It would make sense, but then I guess the fin would just inhibit those as well

i dont think there is officially, since its not approved for hairloss.

Good point

@@martinm.1967 Ive seen that

testosterone also causes hairloss, people actually ignore that fact or just dont know that its true. if you block dht you still have testosterone attacking your hair, so topical anti androgens might be answer for people who start losing hair while on finasteride.

@@martinm.1967 LOL. That compound will never go to market. Even the company that was doing trials about it dropped it

Hop on dutasteride

@@Steven-jd3ey well i started it like two weeks ago and things are not looking good

@@theexperimentasd904 in your bloodwork or hairfall wise? Because it takes about 6 months to see if it's working visually.

@@theexperimentasd904 it takes some 6 months of being on it to see any visible results.

@@Steven-jd3ey I’d agree. I’m NO doctor but I’d start by adding 1 dutasteride pill per week, that could help or otherwise just totally switch to dutasteride. My doctor prescribed ME 1 dutadteride pill every other day.

I know a guy who has been taking finasteride for 15 years (he started at 24 and now he is 39). His results have been impressive, he was able to mantain most of his hair (even though he has never used minoxidil or other complementary treatment)

@@ivoxozo3711 is he your friend?Why you feel that his results were AMAZING ?Had he lost significant amt. of hair at the time of taking finestride?

@@vishweshpandey1112 he is not my friend, he is my dentist. His results re amazing, he hasn't nearly loose hair , he barely had some hair loss on the front part of the head. He has been only taking finasteride 1mg per day, every day, without side effects. Of course, there is not an universal rule, as Dr says, for some people a lower dose would help the same, for some people finasteride would help during more years and in a bigger extent. Unfortunarely, there isn't yet an exact formula to stop hair loss , but according to the Dr of these videos, finasteride 3x week + topical minoxidil once a day would be the baseline treatment for most of people. It depends, of course, on your age and the aggresiveness of your hair loss and current state. I suggest to see all of the videos of this channel

@@ivoxozo3711 thank you By the way ? From which country do you belong?

@@vishweshpandey1112you are welcome. I'm from argentina, and u?

So that would mean that taking creative Leads to hairs loss right ? Because I used creatine for 6 months or so and my hair got thinner overall so i stopped taking it

@@Billy.J yes, supplementing creatine can increase hair loss to those who are sensitive to DHT.

That's just your hair cycles synchronizing, shows the drug is working. V likely to see big regrowth in months 8-12

@@MrRandyjohnson10 combine dutesteride with it

No, it proves that is working. Don’t stop and keep going!

Take fin also.. Stop minoxidyl for 6 months and use that money to get 4 prp done.and then again start minoxidyl

@@MrRandyjohnson10 hi, 5 months on oral finasteride and 5 months of a continuous excessive hair shedding, let me call it hair suicide 😱😱 tons of hairs in the shower drain, while blow-drying... Ibelieve the Shedding has increased compared to the '' before finasteride period '', and I wonder if the medication is not strong enough for me to at least stabilise my Shedding

Anything over 1mg fin is overkill. Reduce it to that and you're good.

You are gonna nuke your dht and you don't want to do that.

Get bald ! You are already above 40 i think... women don't care when u are above 40 and bald they only care about money at that period.

@@meenakshinaidu195 Not everything is about women bro. I wouldnt want to be bald even if woman started liking it

@@danprince4032 OK bro

Good question

No need to use dut. Unnecessarily. Take Fin. For 3 months and leave for 20 to 30 days and again start for 3 to 4 months daily and then 2 mg a week or 3 mg a week. To maintain the hair what you already have Keep taking prp after every 3 months and don't use minoxidyl. Then leave pro for one year or 6th months and use once a day monoxidyl topical sol. And then leave and then even try oral monoxidyl .

@@vishweshpandey1112 dont follow this

@@vishweshpandey1112 I don't think this is a good idea. You're essentially leaving the follicles that are susceptible to DHT/miniturisation exposed for 3-4 weeks at a time, again and again. Studies show that people who didn't adhere to finasteride regimes properly had poorer results than those who stuck with the daily dosage. Do not do this.

@@bonkling No , what I told here was told to me by famous hair transplant doctors. Leaving it for 20 days or 30days will not cause any harm because finestride starts working as soon as you take and remain in the tissue for many days .And during that abstain you will flush out finestiride from you tissue level wich will decrease the side effect of finestride . BUT leaving for days should be done carefully keeping in mind the rate of baldness.. Genrally In 30s the rate of baldness decreases Be careful not to overdose the drug otherwise the body will ask for more and more and it will also have a higher chance of causing side effects. Nothing is certain about hair . There are many causes unknown There are many patterns unknown There are various men with variang degree and rate and pattern of baldness at the same age. And different follicles at the same Head and different sensitivity level to DHT.

its recommended to stop 1 month before deciding to have babe

Absolutely not. Even if your hair loss progresses it will still be at a slower rate when on finasteride. Which makes it CRUCIAL to stay on it if you get hair transplants. Your donor is limited and if you loose too much native hair you will end up with a completely unnatural appearance.

if finasteride is not working for you, that means its not only dht that causes your hairloss, testosterone also can cause hairloss and people ignore that fact. if you wanna stop hairloss forever you need to use finasteride + some topical anti androgen like RU54881 to block not only dht but also testosterone on the scalp. dutasteride wont do anything and i think its wrong for people who dont respond to finasteride to go for dutestaride intead of trying topical anti androgens first...

@@dinamo.slavonija Do you really think Ru works? I currently take 1mg fin daily and dut 1mg once week. My scalp usually is dry or have residue

@@Djsnoop12 ru works 100% but its expensive and you need to learn how to mix it at home

@@dinamo.slavonija Thanks Sunset. I think RU is not avaliable in my country so I should find another way to stop it. By the way thank you so much for your response.

@@dinamo.slavonija recommending an experimental treatment potentially dangerous

I think there are different cases. I have had 3 HPs without using Finasteride, and i have a full hair, but thinning , of course. Still, I could have full set of hair in my youth, thats most important. I will consider another transplant if it gets bad, but as my age progresses, it is less important. But, my hair loss was not that agressive of course.

I am sure these doctors have answered to a similar question in some of their video. Not sure which one though .. have a look at this one maybe... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-htBPxLOC47I.html&ab_channel=TheHairLossShow

@@Rippone oh oke thank you I am going to watch it

Your last line is not true at all.

If you only took 1 mg of finasteride it should clear out of your body in a few days, a week at most. And no it doesn’t change your system forever, if you stop taking it your DHT levels would return to baseline

@@seancunningham8571 but can fin change something else in the body forever after stopping it besides dht

what are you waiting for? u should have jumped on it yesterday

Better late than never man if they still want to preserve what they have.

@@iiOmen yup jump on it. take it 3x week (m w f) and the rest, use minoxidil daily. take your multi vitamins, biotins, potassiums, etc daily and dermaroll 1xweek. that'll fire up the blood flow all over your dome. take a pic of you scalp on a weekly basis. you'll be pleasantly surprised.

If you stop taking the medicine for 2-3 months like you did then your hair will become worse than it was and this is the same as minoxidil as well . if you go on this medicine you have to consistent. if you don't want to take finasteride because of the side effects then do rogaine(minoxidil).

Yes you can

Passing 3 months on 2.5mg daily oral minoxidil as well. Hair really thickening up. First 2 months I had llts of shedding but now it's better than my baseline. So far so good

did u have shed// Do u take dut every day// which doooose/

Check Kevin mann/ haircafe on RU-vid

It is for sure effective! It might not be as effective as 1mg but it's pretty close. Any dose of finastride will help hairloss.

they literally made an episode for that!!!

This statement isnt true. 1mg wouldnt do anything. Need the compounding effect of the medication over time for it to stay at a consistent level in your body

Yeah because being a VP is stress-free…

@@raphaelfernandes5195 neurological side effects are almost completely gone My libido and erection are a lot better but still not the same as before finasteride so i guess i need more time

@@HaMaNezam which neurological??? and did u see if your beard and eyebrrowns thinned?

@@raphaelfernandes5195 brain fog, anhedonia, depression and lost of concentration. Not my eyebrows but i feel like my beard was thinner

I had really bad side effects from finsteride (ED and loss of libido) which have gradually faded over the 2 years since I stopped taking it I would say I'm about 95% back to normal now

Any side effects of using fin for 20 years? Also did you take it everyday?

Yes you can, I'd advise starting with every other day and if needed increasing the frequency.

Oh no! I'm in the same situation but am taking dutasteride daily. So what are you doing now?

@@davidsotir4318 still taking dutasteride every other day with no results. Thinking to use minoxidil which is actually not my preferred way to fight hair loss.

@@proudman6651 The suggested dosage for dutasteride is 500mcg daily actually. I only just started taking it for the last 2 months. Minoxidil works as a stimulant so it may be effective to use that as a double-threat to hair loss.

how is it going????? di u take dut 3x a week with minox???

@@raphaelfernandes5195 on dutasteride every other day but I am not on minoxidil. I believe when Propecia stops working dutasteride won’t be much of help. At least this was my experience with it. I actually tried to increase the dose to be 5x a week with no luck so far.

Bad or good?

check his other vids theyve covered this

@@jonathanmcdonald7612 you could have just answered him instead of telling him to watch another video lol

@@elguapo8245 hes better off watching the video........

The short answer is yes, if taking 3 tablets a week is not effective the next logical step is to up the dose which would normally be 1 mg every day. This could then also include dut if you were still not getting a good respone. However this should all be done on the advice of your prescribing practioner. Things such as symptoms, and giving time for the changes to work are all important and best given by them.

update

Any updates bro ?

The doctors on this youtube channel recommend taking it (1 mg) 3 times a week, though. Your inconsistency might've matched that. Once a day is fine, though.

Finasteride 1mg should be taken daily as the body processes it that quickly within a few hours... Not days. The half life of Finasteride is 4-6 hours (the most effective period). After six hours the effect of Finasteride drops off. The half life of medicine dictates how much and how many doses one is prescribed. Finasteride is like most other drugs which are metabolized (lose their effectiveness completely) within 24 hours. Some patients benefit from half doses twice a day. Nearly all patients benefit from a single dose daily. I started Finasteride over five years ago when I noticed receding. Just over a year ago TSA accidentally dropped or stole my pills while searching my checked luggage. I had to wait three days for new pills to be delivered. In just those three day DHT levels rose so dramatically I had substantial hair fall for the following three weeks. Because I do not take anything for hair regrowth, the receded hair line and thinning remains. Spikes in anxiety, stress, getting sick (influenza, Covid, etc), and diet causes further shedding for most. When sick or we experience hormone spikes in our brain the body responds by focusing it's energy on the issue. Shedding hair is a way of conserving energy and nutrients. I would resume taking Finasteride daily and add biotin supplements to your diet to give your hair the best changes of health and survival. Since I am not your doctor, I suggest you visit yours. There is some evidence of Finasteride being less effective or totally ineffective if stopped and restarted for some men. Many who sign up with these online companies (HIMS, KEEPS, and the like) "specializing" in hair loss treatments, do not know this can happen if they stop and start. These companies do not share this information with their customer's. Their aim is to keep the revenue flowing. They don't care if you had to skip a month or three because finances were tight.... Getting you to restart your subscription is their goal. Generic Finasteride is just $12 (Costco) for a 90 day supply of 2mg tablets, for me. If finances are preventing you from taking Finasteride daily via an online subscription membership, get a prescription from your doctor and shop around for the best price. A 90 day supply is almost always going to be cheaper. Try to get two pills a day for the first month - 120 pills total for a 90 day supply. Just take 1 pill a day. This way you will have a buffer of 30 pills if something prevents you from refilling your prescription on time. If after six months of a daily dose you continue to see excessive shedding you will know Finasteride is not working for you. At that time you need to see a dermatologist for an exam of your scalp, a review of your diet, other medications, supplements you take, and family history of hereditary hair loss. It might also be beneficial to have your testosterone levels check as well. Some medications and supplements can affect T levels, either too high or too low affects the body in many ways. When you do see your doctor regarding a prescription for daily Finasteride, he or she will likely do a full blood panel to ensure you can safely take Finasteride. These blood test will include hormone levels. To anyone reading this who is thinking about joining one of the online subscription clubs...... DON'T. There is no substitute for your doctor or the blood tests needed to ensure your health is good enough to safely take Finasteride or the supplements and other treatments these clubs offer. In many cases seeing your doctor and obtaining a prescription is far more affordable than those online subscription clubs. Stopping and starting again because of their high cost could result in permanent hair loss. From what I understand for many once they stop, even for a week or two, it's all over..... Restarting Finasteride was no longer effective at preventing excessive hair fall. Their hair continued to fall out despite restarting. Remember..... Finasteride does not regrow hair. It only stabilizes existing hair producing follicles. Regrowing or thickening thin strands is a separate, costly treatment. Cheers!

It is not the innate efficacy of finestide . The 64% figure is about the no. Of LUCKY men out of 100 who could could maintain the hair with fknestride

Kratom fucked up my hair too.

@@sweeps42 Will it rebuild it when you stop?

Nah.. most people get like 3-4 big sheds. I had the same thing, I am using it For 1,5 years now

normal to shed

Give 1-2 years at least

I had giga-shed on my crown from having a low calorie diet (1500 kcal). (was on finasteride for 7 months as well) It got back to being thicker and no longer crapping myself how disgustingly EZ it was to see my scalp through my hair.

Change to 0.5mg a day

It's happening to me , that because the hair is shedding

the same with me!

A doctor would say yes of course

Take finestride on alternate days and try to reach the mid or late 30s with as much hair as you can keep on using hair fibres or anything go for exercise .. And in 40s have a hair transplant

Bruh.. why else would you take it

But those topics are irrelevant compared to fin regarding effectiveness

@@Sebs023 They are not irrelevant regarding balding. And this should be a channel about hair loss, not explaining in almost every single exactly the same thing about how Fin works.

They are doctors that have to use what is legally recommended such as having FDA approval etc. This will include LLLT, Min and Fin, everything else is often not approved and has little if any medical evidence to supprort its effectiveness. Hence the focus on these things. But if your lucky your question might get a quick mention.
