Can one take both medications simultaneously? Will they not work better as a conjunct therapy with short term benefits from the flowmax and longer treatment benefits from the fina?

Typically patients do take both tamsulosin and finasteride to help manage their BPH. It all depends on their current condition, but yes they can be taken together.

@@rustymullins6623 yeah, from what I understand the finasteride is a really slow acting medication that inhibits growth of the prostate, but is only effective after 3 months of use. The flowmax is awesome though, 1 week and the distress I was under is a distant memory.... I can write my name in the snow from 10 feet away now... Winning....

Finasteride seems awesome . I just received mine . I got the 5 mg version . as stated . 1 mg for baldness , 5 mg for prostate . Does that mean 5 mg not only shrinks my prostate plus I grow back my hair ?

Does dutasteride work by binding to 5-alpha reductase rendering it ineffective? If that is the case, there will be wide reaching effects because other hormones (e.g., progesterone) will not be reduced into their dihydro version (e.g., dihydroprogeterone). Or, does dutasteride work by binding to testosterone thereby blocking the ability of 5-alpha reductase from reducing the testosterone to DHT? If so, does it bind to any hormones other than testosterone?
@pharmedgy

The main binding is to the enzyme 5-alpha reductase which slows down the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Although DHT is the main factor in BPH progression, dutasteride can have other unwanted hormonal side effects.

Can a 10yr old take tamulosin with difficulty urinating?

They shouldn’t. 10 year olds don’t usually have BPH. Maybe the difficulty urinating is caused by something else

Hi Dr. Quick question: Can creatine be taken with finasteride? If creatine is known to increase DHT and thus speed up MPB, can finasteride negate these effects? would they be safe to take together? Thank you!
@pharmedgy
2 жыл бұрын
From my understanding, if the creatine is increasing DHT, then it will work against the finasteride because finasteride is preventing the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

I've donated blood for years, however, blood banks, nor plasma centers don't want my O-positive, due to the odd chance that a pregnant woman might receive a transfusion with finasteride. I'm told it causes birth defects in male children. Funny, that semen is also a caution, since retrograde ejaculation is another common side effect.
