No: One or two missed days now and then shouldn't make any difference

Specializes in Pharmacology

It is unlikely that missing 1 to 2 doses of Propecia will have any negative effects. If someone misses doses of their medication, they should resume their regular schedule but should *not* take two doses at the same time to make up for the missed doses.
