Hi

do I have to account something special when I am on Finasteride and Levothyroxine.

I am currently on 50 μg levothyroxine and 1mg finasteride do I have to keep something on my mind.

kjkl89,

I have been taking both medications at the exact same dosage as you for the last 12 months without any issues. I was on just levo for 6 months prior to starting fin and noticed no difference when combining the two. As far as results with fin, my hairline has stopped the rapid rate at which it was receding and overall my hair looks fuller.

Best of luck!

Make sure that you keep finasteride at least 2 hours away from Levo, that's general advice given for all medication, some need longer.

My response is get off the fin altogether (see my profile for reasons why)!

Well, I think fin isn't as bad as everyone says. There can be side effects but that's not for the majority. Every medication can have side effects.

Not what you're looking for?
