I think they were taking up to 10 mg's a day when the recommended dose for hairloss is 1 mg. Everyone reacts differently to drugs though so it is always best to consult your doctor.

Hope that helps...

It has an effect on the prostate & hormones.

It also seems to reduce the testosterone levels in some men.

So does it affect weight lifters/people that excercise frequesntly negatively?
