Regular Member BeardedOne Posted January 4, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2014 I know many people take all their pills in one go in the morning - coffee significantly reduces the absorption of multivitamins into the system and increase their excretion from the body. Although I don't know of any clinical studies it is fair to imagine the coffee does the exact same to finasteride. Does anyone have any experience of this? This does not mean anyone has to give up coffee! Rather, don't have a cup of coffee right after you've taken your pills, and conversely wait an hour after your cup of coffee before you take your pills. Bottom line is, don't wash your finasteride down with a mug of coffee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BeardedOne Posted January 4, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 4, 2014 To be clear, I don't know whether coffee affects finasteride absorption at all, and would like to know from experts if it does - but if we are willing to take a pill every day to combat our hair loss then why risk reducing its impact by drinking a cup of coffee??

Kamran Aftab Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 I need to know that if using coffee on your hairs will be helpful or not. As I have seen many caffeine based shampoo for hair loss. Also please suggest that if using coffee on transplanted hairs will be safe or not for the purpose of hair dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorik228 Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'm not sure how coffee can affect the use of that drug, but I do know that if you drink coffee, you want to go to the bathroom more often than you normally do . Also caffeine in coffee dilates blood vessels and makes blood circulation faster. I drink only fresh and only ground coffee and use the coffee machine and coffee grinder from this site helixcoffee.com . I am feeling fine and do not have any serious health problem at my 58 .

Senior Member LaserCap Posted August 22, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 22, 2019 Now you tell me? I am not kidding when I tell you that I used to, no more, have 20-30 cups of coffee a day. Now I drink 2-4 large cups. Not sure what impact, if any, this had on pills, vitamins, hbp meds, etc. From time to time I do hear of studies involving coffee intake. Some are great and some not so much. I guess they'll find out when the open me up......Oh wait, they won't. I prefer BBQ than being 6 feet under.

Senior Member LaserCap Posted August 23, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2019 Yes I did. That doesn't even count all the coffee other people purchased for me. I'll tell you a true story. While living in Dallas we had a Starbucks within a few yards of our office. Used to go there every day, twice a day. Kept my receipts in the bottom drawer of my desk, (a file drawer). My secretary went in there accidentally one day. That afternoon she almost killed me. She said, "do you realize I could have sent my kid to college with the money you've spent on coffee?" 20 years later I've slowed down a bit. Went on a trip to Italy recently. Amazing coffee. Had my share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member LaserCap Posted August 23, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2019 Love the taste. As a matter of fact now I've gotten into eating coffee candy. I purchased a huge can of Kopiko. Thought it would be better. So then I went to an Asian market and purchased some there. Not bad. I am searching for something slightly better and a little bitter. (Had a bunch of Cuban coffee while in Miami...it was great). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
