CVS pharmacies offer generic finasteride, typically as 1mg tablets. The standard dosage for male pattern hair loss is one 1mg tablet daily, taken with or without food.
Consistency is key. Take your medication at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your bloodstream. Missing doses can reduce effectiveness.
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s nearly time for your next dose. Never double the dose to make up for a missed one.
Do not stop taking finasteride without consulting your doctor. Stopping abruptly might affect your hair regrowth and could lead to other issues.
