I kniw some BP drugs do cause hair loss, google the drug side efffects before you fill the prescription and don't expect you dr to know or even care if it causes hair loss.

 

On a side note I STRONGLY reccomend getting a 24 hour BP monitor before going on drugs, I did and it turned out I had white coat hypertension

anyone else?

I think the best thing you can do is change your diet. Yes, you can completely change your blood pressure and cholesterol with diet alone. Then, you won't have to worry about it interfering with the Propecia.

 

You're far too young to be on blood pressure medication. Change your diet, stay on the Propecia. Keep your arteries and heart healthy...and keep your hair!

 

That may not be what you want to hear, but having worked with a cardiologist in the past and having seen real case studies, I can assure you that it's the absolute, 100% truth.

There aren't any meds that really interact with Finasteride. Diltiazem and Terazosin are the only BP meds I found that interact with Finasteride, and all they do is raise the level of Fin in the bloodstream, which could actually be beneficial unless it increases side effects. On the other hand a lot of BP meds list hair loss as a less common or rare side effect.
