A user in the UK seeks advice on blood tests before starting Finasteride and Minoxidil for hair loss. Recommended tests include thyroid function, hormone levels, liver and kidneyfunction, and vitamin and mineral levels.
A user is considering a long-term hair loss treatment stack including Dutasteride, Finasteride, and oral Minoxidil, and is concerned about potential liver damage. Some responses suggest the stack is excessive, while others believe it's not harmful to the liver, but recommend regular blood work to monitor health.
A user on finasteride for 7+ months shared bloodwork results, questioning if high DHT levels and testosterone could affect cholesterol. Replies suggest consulting a doctor and question the high testosterone levels.
Finasteride may cause elevated liver enzymes, potentially leading to liver issues, though this is rare. Users should monitor liver function and consider topical alternatives if liver sensitivity occurs.
A user using finasteride and dutasteride to treat hair loss, but still losing hair rapidly after stopping minoxidil. Replies suggest that the user should try oral minoxidil or switch to dutasteride for better results.
