Finasteride and Weight Gain?
Does finasteride make me gain weight? been taking it from 2003 until 2005, stopped until apr 2007, now im on again with 1mg a day, i am a male.
i searched the previous answers on the topic, only found one that states that NO, theres no link. just touching base again to check for any new info. my personal experience: with some brands i gain weight, with others no. perhaps its only my delusional mind. thanks, gooooood blog congratlations
Nope. Aging (with slowing of the metabolism, diet, and a sedentary lifestyle) is the primary cause of weight gain. Don’t look to blame the drug finasteride for it.
You may want to consider the antagonistic effect DHT has on estrogen and how increased levels of estrogen due to lowered levels of DHT can lead to conditions such as gynecomastia or other hormonally dependent fat storage.
Lowering DHT = Higher estrogen = weight gain in men
this is a fact.
