Double up on Propecia?

**pvthndl** · 10-25-2001, 10:30 AM

I've been on Propecia for about 8 months now to stop general thinning on top (good results, by the way). Now that I'm starting an Eth/EQ/Winny cycle, would it make sense to pop two pills per day to help avoid hair loss? Doesn't seem like there is much risk of overdose on this stuff, but I don't want to take more $1/pill stuff than I need.

Not sure about dosing but I know that with aromatization you have DHT (dehydrotestosterone) and that can be a main factor in Male pattern baldness. Although the propecia helps with that I am not sure about the effect while on cycles. I do know that propecia will also help prostate disorders which makes sense since DHT is also the primary cause of prostate cancer.

Bump - still hoping someone has an opinion on this one. In the meantime, I've upped my dose to 2 pills/day.

Don't do that untill you find out the possible side effects. Ask you M.D

my brother in law is a pharmacist and he says that the doctor is supposed to run tests because it is hard on the liver ,so adding juice will probly put alot of stress on your liver.

If your not sure ask your doc.I can't stress this enough be honest with your m.d.

But since it has to do with the aromatizaton I think it would be good to stay on the dosage of propecia and add proviron to the cycle.
