Increased Shedding After Raising Fin Dose to 1mg Daily: Is This Normal?

Hey all,

I have been using oral fin and topical min regularly for over 3 years now and have had great results. The fin dosage I have been using throughout this period has been taking 1mg every other day. A few weeks ago I decided that since I did not have any negative side effects with this dosage I would try upping to 1 mg every day as that is the commonly prescribed dosage, with my reasoning being just further future proofing as I get older. However starting a couple days ago I noticed I was shedding way more than usual, similar to how it was when I started. Is this common when upping the dose? If so, how long can I expect it to last? If I go back down to the dose I was on before, will it stop? I didn’t think it would be a big enough difference to cause a shed like this.

Thanks!

it’s totally normal to experience shedding when increasing your fin dosage. your follicles are likely adjusting to the change, similar to when you first started. it can take a few weeks to months for the shedding to stabilize and improvements to show again. if there’s no adverse effects, sticking with the new dosage could offer better results long term. you’ll probably see things level out with a bit of patience.
