Started at 1 mg but reduced dose to .5 mg due to having testicle pain. The reduced dose has no side effects for me. Libido has never been a problem. I take for a receding hairline and started noticing small results at 10 months.

I am taking this since last 4 years.It's a wonder drug and it stopped hair loss and also to have good thick hair. Wish I should have started early.
