How to use Sons Simplicity
Finasteride
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
- The usual dose is one tablet each day.
- The tablets can be taken with or without food.
- Finasteride will not work faster or better if you take it more than once a day
Your doctor will help you to determine if Finasteride is working for you. It is important to take Finasteride for as long as your doctor prescribes it. Finasteride can only work over the long term if you continue taking it.
Full instructions can be found in the Sons Full Works product literature.
Biotin
Take a Biotin capsule once a day as part of your daily routine. We recommend attaching this to a normal day to day activity (such as brushing your teeth) to avoid missing any doses.
Shampoo
DHT shampoo should be used as part of your normal daily showering routine. Gently massage a good amount of the shampoo into your scalp for 30-60 seconds then leave in your hair for 60-90 seconds before rinsing. We recommend using warm rather than hot water to shower to help prevent your hair and scalp from becoming dry and damaged.
