Omg I had to stop taking the Fincom 1 pill it was just making me sick after 1 week, its should have been propecia but they send me Fincom I will not recommend this to anyone. Waste of money. ## Hello, Anthony! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem you encountered. However, that's one of the hazards of ordering medications in such a manner, there's no way of knowing what you're going to receive and what the quality is. That's why the FDA regulates the ones that are available in U.S pharmacies. Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Actually Fincom-1 and Propecia is the same drug. Both contain the same active ingredient - finasteride and act in the same way. Fincom-1 is the generic version of Propecia. ## Hello. I'm looking for (fincom-1) finasteride 1m...

I have been taking finasteride for about two years now, and it seems to me that I have developed increased abdominal flab. Thankfully, no breast development (yet!), but I definitely feel an increase in size around my waist and below. The literature available suggests that weight gain is not a side effect [1]; however, it appears to me that it might be, as I have gained about 7 to 8 pounds. I would be interested in hearing about others' experiences in this regard. Thank you. ## I can confirm from personal experience that both finasteride and saw palmetto caused rapid weight gain in the lower abdomen. I've tested this out and found that it takes a few weeks after stopping for my metabolism to pick up again. My theory is that a hormonal imbalance is created when taking drugs with D...

I want to know of any overall study of side effects from long term 5mg dose finasteride ## Further to my initial message above: I am a 90 year old man in UK. I have had severe prostate enlargement and my GP suggested treatment with finasteride plus, initially, fesoterodine. The fesoterodine was stopped after a few months, but I have now been on Finasteride 5mg for a year. The result has been excellent as regards my prostate. I read as much as I could find about any side effects of finasteride, but it seems that it is overwhelmingly used for premature hair loss. In my case I have experienced the following: Development of quite marked breasts, firm and curved, with nipples that harden and stick out if stimulated. Deposit of unusual pattern of fat around the lower belly and inner thighs. I...

I have been prescribed Flomax, Oxybutinin and Finasteride once a day for an enlarged prostate. Can I take all at the same time and when is the best time of the day to take them? ## There is no particular best time of day to take them, but the FDA does warn that the Oxybutynin may cause dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, so some people prefer to take it at night, to avoid experiencing such issues during the day. It is usually okay to take them all together, unless your doctor or pharmacist instructs otherwise. As to the Flomax, it should be taken approximately half an hour after the same meal each day to ensure steady absorption. Is there anything else I can help with?

Started taking finasteride 5mg about a year ago and have had great results until about a month ago, and I have started shedding my hair again. I was going to stop for a week to get it to kick back into gear. Any thoughts on this? ## Sorry to hear about your situation. According to NIH, Finasteride is used to treat an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) as well as hair loss in men. So to lose hair as a result of taking something that's supposed to stop hair loss is confusing beyond recognition. Finasteride reportedly treats male pattern hair loss by blocking the body's production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth. My worry is that if it can block the body's production of hormones, what else can it do that isn't being advertised publically ...

My dad is taking finasteride, simvastatin & gabapentin. How do these interact with restoril? ## Hello, Maddie! How is your dad doing? I didn't find any interactions or problems listed, but it is always best to double check such information to be safe. Have they all been prescribed for him? The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects of Restoril as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. It also carries the risk of being habit forming.

Finmax from Zenlabs India/Canada was received for an online order of Propecia/Finasteride. Is Zenlabs reputable and is Finmax Finasteride? ## Zenlabs replied to my inquiry stating that Finmax is Finasteride, but have been unable to verify by any independent source. My location is in the U.S. Midwest. namaste ## From what I am finding, yes, it is listed as containing Finasteride, I have found it listed as such at several sites and purchased by quite a few people due to the cheaper price. The Zenlabs in India is a partner of the Canadian company by the same name. This means their products are probably manufatured according to similar safety and quality standards, though I am not familiar with them myself. There have been complaints listed about many Indian companies and the medications th...

Is there a way to avoid the minor interaction? "finasteride oral will decrease the level or effect of modafinil oral by affecting hepatic/intestinal enzyme CYP3A4 metabolism." Both use CYP3A4 enzymes. I'm thinking if one was taken 12 hours apart from the other, the CYP3A4 would be more readily available? Thanks. ## Hello, Craig! How are you? What I'm reading from the FDA says that it's the Modafanil that affects the Finasteride, decreasing its level and/or effect. However, it is considered to be a minor and insignificant interaction that isn't a concern. Thus, it would be best to continue taking them as prescribed by your doctor and on the dosage schedule they've provided. Modafanil is classified as a stimulant that's used to treat conditions such as ADHD...
