[Saunacrank]

My source has proscar. 1/mg tabs. What do I need to dose it at? Take it for entire cycle or after certain amount of time? and how long after cycle do I run it? Thanks guys. I've never had any issues and I've 4 cycles over 3 years, but just gonna be safe now that I'm 26, I'm getting a little older so wanna be careful.

Am I getting this right, you have had no problem with hairloss (MPB) on your cycles, but you want to use finasteride just "to be safe"...? BAD IDEA. Finasteride is the last thing to use when you are losing your hair, not something you do "just to be sure". It has potential for very serious and permanent side effects, and if you use it for healthy hair, you will probably experience some shedding you won't be having otherwise.

Also, if you start finasteride, you have to be on it. You can't use it just "when cycling".

In the us hair transplants are overpriced.The grafts are put in by assistants ,they are no more skilled than a hairdresser.Bosley does not restore hairlines realisticaly. one must be conservative and comprehensive when choosing a hailine for your age group.Bosley will just move up all your grafts and try to give you a hairline of a 20 year old.Eventually the hair behind it will fall out.Medica klinik in Malmo Sweden offers A cheaper price for hair transplants.The swedes pioneered this procedure.Figure in 2 nights in a hotel plus 600 us dollarsfor air fare, and the price will probably come out to be half of what the us clinics cost.And no Rogaine will not grow hair at a receding hairline.

Believing that fin or dut cause permanent side effects is a bit like believing that inoculations cause autism: the clinical evidence indicates the opposite, but people say it on the internet.

Fact is that finasteride is extremely effective as a hair loss treatment, and ~95% of men who use it never get side effects.

There's no doubt that DHT, and specifically DHT from the 2-5ar enzyme causes male patterned hair loss, and finasteride drastically reduces levels of 2-5ar, so it can only help.

Also, if you start finasteride, you have to be on it. You can't use it just "when cycling".

You have to be on it because men with hair loss generally have it starting from some time after puberty till the day they die.

If you don't have the genes you can use as much aas as you want and never go bald.

As far as the lack of DHT, keep in mind that DHT isn't all that anabolic, and finasteride increases endogenous T production, so it (and to a greater extent dutasteride) can be considered slightly anabolic.

If you're adding exogenous androgens, and preventing those exogenous androgens from being reduced by 2-5ar into a probably more androgenic and less anabolic versions of themselves, then in that case...

... I'm not sure of the implications, but I think the net effect on strength gains will be nominal either way.
