    Noticed my hair thinning and have a few questions about propecia

    Hows it going guys,

    I am currently in between cycles and trying to find a solution to a problem I am facing. I noticed that after my last cycle of dbols, test that my hair has taking a beating and is in fact starting to thin around the front/top of my scalp. I plan on running another cycle soon test 750mg a week and tren maybe 300mg a week and want to know a few answers before I start.

    Should I consider getting a script for propecia to try and prevent DHT?

    Can I stop taking propecia once I am done my cycle?

    what dose of propecia is reccomended daily?

    any other info I can benefit from please let me know. Thanks very much.

    You can start with rogaine. Its not a good Idea to run propecia while on a cycle some of the side effects while taking this drug are: liver disease, or abnormal liver enzyme tests, prostate cancer...etc So make sure that you take blood test after you're done with your pct only than its safe to start taking that P drug.

    You thought dbol was bad, wait until you do some tren ...lol. Tren is the worst, I heard Rogaine will help but I'm never touching anything other than test, primo, tbol and var until I'm forced the shave it all off Propecia won't do anything for Tren as far as I know. And you're better off trying to get a script for Proscar. Insurance will cover that, just break the pills into quarters and you have Propecia.

    This isn't true at all, so you really need to quit posting it everywhere. Where did you get this (mis)information?

    These are the FDA's findings in a 4 yr double blind study,

    TABLE 2 Drug-Related Adverse Experiences Year 1
    (%) Years 2, 3 and 4*
    (%)
    Finasteride Placebo Finasteride Placebo
    N = 1,524 and 1,516, Finasteride vs placebo, respectively
    *
    Combined Years 2 to 4
    Impotence 8.1 3.7 5.1 5.1
    Decreased Libido 6.4 3.4 2.6 2.6
    Decreased Volume of Ejaculate 3.7 0.8 1.5 0.5
    Ejaculation Disorder 0.8 0.1 0.2 0.1
    Breast Enlargement 0.5 0.1 1.8 1.1
    Breast Tenderness 0.4 0.1 0.7 0.3
    Rash 0.5 0.2 0.5 0.1

    They do not even mention hepatotoxicity, believe me if it were an issue they would, in addition a seach for hepatotoxicity within pubmed using mesh terms yields no correlation. As far as affecting prostate cancer there were early hopes that it would help lessen progression however it was found to have no substantial affect either good or bad.

    Do you have a lot of stock in rogaine or do you just type in things like finastride hapatotoxicity in google and accept as fact any health freak opinon?
