Finasteride and Donating Bone Marrow
Hi there. I have been taking Finpecia for about 7 months and recently I have been considering donating bone marrow. Since starting to take finasteride I have had to stop donating blood and I was wondering if you knew if this would stop me from being able to donate marrow? I cannot find information on it anywhere.
Thanks
I am almost certain that those individuals on finasteride should not donate bone marrow, just like in the blood transfusion area.
Please explore your reasons with your doctor as their may be extenuating circumstances. If you do a bone marrow donation if you stopped the Propecia for a few weeks prior, the blood stream will have no significant blood level of the drug in it. The half life for Propecia is 4-6 hours.
