Hi Cdr1967,

As that is a direct medical question people won't be allowed to answer it on this site. The best people to ask about medical interactions are pharmacists so I suggest that you contact your nearest one to find out.

Regards

Is the Finasteride (propecia) prescribed or are you buying it otc? I don't think it's contraindicated with MTX but if it's prescribed you should ask your GP really. Or, if you bought it otc ask where you bought it from, the duty Pharmacist should know.

As Beverley says we're not medically qualified & you do really need to be sure. Was it the pharmacist or a pharmacy assistant who said to ring your doctor? If the latter ask to speak to the pharmacist, they know meds inside out. Or any other pharmacist should know, if you have another chemist locally you could ask at.
