Reminder to get on finasteride if youre balding


just 0.25 mg daily, the earlier you start, the better, side effects are bullshit in general and this dose reduces them even more (look up haircafe on YT for more info)

Is there some kind of trick to getting cheap fin&min? I see propecia costs over 10x more in my country than generic finasteride. Can I just ask the doc to prescribe me cheap stuff since the function is exactly the same?

Also, what the fuck is with the side effects of fin? They're apparently rare but stories are endless.

Finasteride only comes as a tablet you take by mouth.
>>17559858
Prostate cancer warning: This drug belongs to a class of drugs that could increase your risk of a faster growing or irregular form of prostate cancer. Finasteride can cause a decrease in your prostate specific antigen (PSA) level. An increased level of this antigen has been associated with prostate cancer. If your PSA levels increase while on this medication, it may be a sign of prostate cancer.

uhh use it with a dropper i suppose, theres no way to measure a spray itself, also he sounds like hes fucking scamming you, a topical should use a mL dropper, that 0.114 mg should work but you'd need to spread that out VERY EVENLY, which is hard with topicals unless its very diluted

> Prostate cancer warning: This drug belongs to a class of drugs that could increase your risk of a faster growing or irregular form of prostate cancer.

strange, source? and i dont believe it, high dose finasteride is literally used to treat prostate cancer, i dont see how it could increase risk, either way, i'd like to see more data on how/to what extent that works

>>17559883
>decreased sex drive
this is true, my libido is slightly lower, but i'd rather have a slighly lower libido and the ability to actually attract a girl by not being a fucking slaphead than be a raging libido bald nigga that cant get bitches
>trouble getting or keeping an erection
>ejaculation disorder
less than 1% of people get this, watch haircafe on YT for more info, i went on a trip recently for spring break and there was this latina with a fat ass sitting next to me, i was hard for a third of the trip when i was talking to her, so bs

>increase in breast size and tenderness
less than 1% of people also get this, and at the low dose i recommend, even rarer chance(if any of getting this)
>skin rash
???? no, thats minoxidil because of the PG carrier used


tl;dr sides are massively overhyped and your dick will still work, your libido might go down a bit but at least youll still be able to get laid

It's literally worth BILLIONS in profit if they manage to psyop men into thinking a natural part of being a man is something to be ashamed of.
Don't you fucking dare try to pull jewish psyop shit on me telling me "well you only pay so little"
bitch, if every male on earth gave me a cent a month, I'd get hundreds of millions per month in profit.
I'd be a billionaire in less than a year.
Don't try to peddle this story about how little it costs for the common goy, when calculating how much money the companies aren't getting from having an untapped market.

bro, i go to university, ive seen some other dudes in my class, theyre not necessarily ugly face-wise, pretty normal, but theyre balding already and it takes them from a 6 to a 4 immediately, they could not get pussy unless they lowered their standards to pajeetas

shit on my all you want, call me a psyop, i dont give a fuck, im just informing you dumb fuck /fa/ niggers that finasteride isnt that bad and the choice is ultimately up to you, slowly bald, watch your youth fade and women lose interest (unless youre tall and attractive, but youre prob an average guy so hair matters) or literally pop a pill before you sleep and never have to worry about the wind exposing your hairline

I WILL SAY, if youre married and have kids and past the point in life where attracting a new partner matters, sure, fuck it go bald if you want to, but if youre in the 18-35 age range and dont have a girl thats down to marry, then bro you still have to worry about looks

one of my friends is going bald too, he hasnt jumped on finasteride because he's scared of side effects and he's 20 but his hairline is that of a fucking 40 year old, HE'S 20, EVERYONE AROUND HIM IN UNIVERSITY HAS A FULL HEAD OF HAIR, he does not get any pussy

They're very specific in the wording. It decreases ASP but it might affect normal function and leas to abnormally rapid onset or abnornally developed cancer. Grain of salt but they leave a trail of who writes and reviews the article starting with U Chicago. I just searched find side effects.

Are you going bald in college? Good luck my friend but when it becomes advanced just drop the pills and shave it. If you're balding in college it's a losing battle no matter how much stuff you take.

For you, so far. Eventually it won't. When that day comes I'd recommend giving it up and letting your body normalize hormone production instead of dragging it out unnecessarily. You can do whatever you want of course.

It increases the risk of abnormal prostate cancer which can be unexpected and develop rapidly, with more severe consequences for treatment. On the net there's a lower prostate cancer risk because people with risk of cancer are taking it for that purpose. If you don't have elevated risk of prostate cancer, in some small scale fin might increase your risk of the abnormal variety and on am individual level increase risk.
Or it might not. Side effects vary as you're quick to point out.

>In many patients we have found finasteride to hold on to a patient’s hair for at least 15 years. We don’t have much longer data than that since it was approved for hair loss in 1998. ...it MAY lose some of its efficacy over time. Generally after about 5 years we may notice that the patient’s hair is starting to thin again and we will increase the dose slightly.

You could also add minoxidil or bump your fin dosage to 0.5 mg daily, regardless, there are a lot of promising treatments for hairloss such as CosmeRNA, GT 03, pyrilumatide, a bunch of korean (surprise surprise, top plastic surgery vain country ) companies are investing into hairloss treatments, and these seem scheduled to gain FDA approval in 1-2 years, so im not too worried, these are said to have even lower risk of possible side effects and be just as effective

>>17559924
i think its such a low risk it might as well be negligible, unless all your grandpas have had prostate cancer, you shouldnt really have anything to worry about

The problem it seems to me is America's young men are comparing themselves seriously to twinks and homosexuals for the first time. They therefore seek almost obsessively the traits of young boys and reject any of the post-pubescent traits of the male sex. Take for example the op pic. A man of college age should expect such a hairline as top, yet this is unacceptable somehow and he seeks to hide his scalp as if he were a twink himself.

i understand balding more or less will happen, but the dating market is unforgiving, women dont care and wont sympathize, to think theyll look through and see how beautiful you are "inside" is the biggest bluepill fucking cope, like i said, if youre balding while youre not married or married with kids, you actually need to care about your hair since its vital for female attraction
