Regular Member Yabala Posted April 14 Regular Member Share Posted April 14 Hi! I'm a user of topical finasteride. My wife and myself are planning to have a baby and l know that l'll have to stop topical finasteride for all the duration of the pregnancy. I wanted to ask if l will lose ground during that time ? And l also wanted to know if there are alternatives l can take during the pregnancy ? Given that l'll resume topical finasteride once the baby is born. Thanks in advance.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted April 14 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 14 You could use oral minoxidil if you're talking around a year off finasteride. GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ITA Posted April 14 Senior Member Share Posted April 14 (edited) 2 ore fa, Gatsby ha detto: potresti usare il minoxidil orale se stai parlando di un anno senza finasteride. minoxidil e finasteride hanno funzioni diverse, il primo non può essere preso in sostituzione dell'altro, At most, one could advise @Yabala to replace finasteride with Saw Palmetto, which has a much milder efficacy than finasteride.

E riprendere la finasteride topica quando nasce il bambino? I think yes, La Serenoa Repens (saw palmetto) is basically a specific natural food supplement against male androgenic alopecia formulated with the best concentration of plant extracts that contrast the DHT, regarding the Minoxidi, is a blood vasodilator and you could opt for the foam one to be applied to the scalp instead of the one to be taken orally.

But Saw palmetto in its own way is also a dht blocker, that means it wouldn't be good and safe to use it when a pregnant woman is around. 😐 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
