I’ve read that taking half a dose of propecia is not good because it is a time release drug and cutting it will release to much of the medicine at once. Is their any truth to this?</p>Propecia is not time released. Take it as directed. Recommended dosage is one pill daily. It’s actually quite simple. It has a half life of 4-6 hours and that means that each 4-6 hours, the dose circulating in the blood will reduce by half. Some of the drug gets into the tissue of the hair follicle and it may stay there for a few days (tissue fixation), so that is the reason you do not need a time release on the drug.
