question from a user
What percentage of your patients are on AI? And what dosing protocol do you typically recommend?
AlphaMD's Answer
Dosing should be based on initial levels which respect where you're starting, we tend to see men who need between 120mg-180mg weekly most often, with the most common doses usually sitting at 140mg once dialed in for high benefits to low side effects. Likely 25% or less of patients will need an AI unless they are being dosed higher than needed.
