ED Finasteride Vs EOD Finasteride

General Basic Questions
1

So guys, the point is that the doctor told me to start finasteride, but in the past it gave me sides especially breast tenderness after a short time (I was taking 5mg/4 so 1.25mg daily).

Now I would like to start again but at lower dosages (and possibly increase over time), better 5mg/8 ED or 5mg/4 EOD?

I read that EOD has no real differences and is simply more comfortable, at the same time it gives me the idea of being a more “fluctuating” assumption and perhaps it is less safe from a safety point of view.

What do you think? EOD and ED have the same efficacy and safety as long as the weekly dose is the same?

EOD and ED finasteride dosing can be similar in efficacy due to the drug’s long half-life, but different people might tolerate one better than the other. Monitoring how you feel on each regimen can help decide what’s best.
