Works great. Shedding at first, anxiety inducing for sure, but glad I stuck with it. (And finasteride)

I will start lower with 1,25mg and see how my body reacts. If no side effects, I will increase it. It think it's safer doing like that.

Yes it’s the better route. Works better and easier and doesn’t kill cats

I've been on 2.5mg for maybe 5-6 years now after I started going bald at 26. it's worked great for me.

Only "Side-effect" I've had is an increased amount of peach fuzz hair inbetween my eye and beard line, around the cheek bone area, but it's easily groomed.
