DHT Blocker lowering TRT?

[Chris288]

Would taking a Finasteride for my hair at 1mg per day interfere with Free or Total Test results on a blood panel?

I am getting my 3 month blood test done from my TRT Doctor and I have started taking Finasteride at 1mg per day right after one 3 months ago because my hair has changed in texture over the past 6months I have started TRT.

Will this lower my Total/Free Testosterone? Make any difference? Not really a bad thing if it does, I guess the doc could bump up my Cyp if so. Never really thought of this, figure I would ask you guys on here.

Thanks so much

For someone not on TRT it's supposed to elevate test. Don't know what happens on TRT.

Too many horrorstories from this class of drugs for my liking, potentially permanent dick problems in rare cases.

nope.
going by my numbers, not at all.

Ok i didn't know if it mattered.

Sick problems are a big problem (no pun) not heard of anything but some impotence. Will need to rethink and research what blocks topically then.

Thanks for the help

The less dht conversation the more estrogen and a boost in total testosterone. Finasteride is of the devil. I felt the sides full force at 0.25 mgs a day. Many men get long term sexual side effects.
