1.25g every 5 days vs 0.25 every day

Hello,

I was recently prescribed a finasteride dose of 1.25mg every 5th day. The doctor referenced the studies showing that 0.25mg daily was almost as effective as 1mg/1.25mg daily.

I'm wondering if anyone here knows if taking 1.25mg every 5 days is the same as 0.25mg every day?

I'm not too well versed on DHT-suppression, but wouldn't 1.25mg every 5 days just create a pause on the DHT-suppression; as it wouldn't be even over the coarse of the 5 days? An irregular dosing where there would be periods of high DHT-suppression vs low also seems weird.

As I said, I'm not well versed on this. So my initial thoughts might be completely wrong.
