When i first started taking finasteride, i was told to take it with a full glass of water. Although that is usually what i do, sometimes i take it with just a sip of water or sometimes no water at all. I didn't think it mattered that much, but i'm now worried that i may be wrong. If you don't take finasteride wit ha full glass of water, will it lessen it's effects?

I have also heard to take it with a full glass of water, but I don't think that it has any affect it you don't. Either way it will be broken down and absorbed into the intestines and reach the blood system. The water helps with swallowing it and insuring it all reaches the stomach. It also aids in dilution in the stomach so that all contents are available for absorption. Don't worry you should be fine.

Mrjb takes his with a shot of Jack Daniels and he is going strong!!!!

I also heard that Falceros takes a shot of Rogaine with his Propecia, but that is just a rumor!

Anyway, whether it's with a cup of coffee, or with what these other guys use, you will be fine. NN is correct.

Although, you really need to drink lots of water, it's good for you Wink

LOL...shhh....I told you in PM to keep that a secret Wink

I've actually never heard about taking it with a full glass of water. I've been taking it for over 2 years and it's been helping me retain the hair below the crown, so I'd say it's working for me, and I'm not drinking a whole glass of water with it Wink.
