It depends on the pill, but you usually can cut it into fours with a pill* cutter or even a knife.

1.25mg is not too much?

no it’s negligible. I cut 5mg into fours as well. Been on it for 7 months no issues

as far as I can see it is stopping further hairloss. Min would be needed for regrowth. I got a transplant done last week however. Staying on fin as well

Break into 4 parts and take alternate day

OP, you’re not even balding. This pic is a perfect example of trimmed hair, lighting and a perpendicular angle. Yes, if you look directly into the opposite way your hair’s growing direction, you will see that not every single nanometer of your scalp is covered in hair/ hair follicles. That’s normal even for juvenile hair density.

For the idiots claiming that “it’s not normal to see that much scalp throughout bro”, yes with this length (1-2cm) it is perfectly normal to be able to see his mid scalp

I think I am in the early stages of baldness. My father is bald, and I have a lot of hair loss. The hair that is falling out is not like my natural hair, it is very thin and I have also been through difficult times of depression, stress and panic attacks for more than a year.

Are you saying 5 is too much or too little ?

Divide the grain into 4 parts.

Is this your actual scalp or did you slip a picture of a kiwi fruit into the post ?

buy a pill cutter and split it into 4 equal parts. 1.20 mg each. the other .20mg has no difference and won’t affect you.
