I have a question: are there any contraindications associated with taking propecia (finasteride 1 mg./day) ? Propecia is prescribed for hair loss and I think acts as a DHT "blocker." Not sure what the ramifications of taking it concurrently while cycling. Please advise if you know anything about this. Thanks!

Get Proscar its cheaper and is still finasteride. Don't take finasteride with deca, and it works best (or maybe only) with Test. I use stacks of dbol/test/eq in high dosages with little to no hair loss - I attribute this to finasteride.

no.

it's a specific and a competitive inhibitor of type 2 5a-reductase, an intracellular enzyme that converts test to DHT....basically finasteride is to 5a-reductase what arimidex is to aromatase
