On propecia x3 weekly and rogain x2 daily. planning on starting a family. would like to stop propecia before trying. what is ideal length of time to stop propecia before? is 10 days enough? is stopping rogain recommended?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least one month: Just to be safe, suggest you stop propecia for at least 1 month before attempting to start a family. Might also stop the Rogaine , esp if this is your first child.
