» Avodart capsule) once every 1, 2, or 3 weeks. To get the same amount of
» DHT suppression as taking an Avodart every day, you'd have to take 7

» Because one Avodart capsule every 3 days is NOT enough! Not enough to

» so).
»
» Dutasteride is a DOSE-DEPENDENT drug. You get increasingly more DHT
» suppression as the dose increases, thanks to the fact that it hangs around

Hi Bryan,
So what would you say if at max. I took a capsule (0.5mg) on Monday, Wed, Fri, Sun, in other words, rest one day in btw. do you think Im wasting my time and money. What about resting 2 days.
How can you be so sure of your statement and what do you say about the graphs posted above then?
Cheers
