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.
