Gastrointestinal Problems and Propecia

Hello Doctor,

I’m thinking of taking Propecia to combat my hair loss dilemma, but I have gastrointestinal issues that prevent me from taking certain medications. Even just taking a garlic supplement results in some intestinal pains. Would taking propecia be an option for me? Does Propecia have any recommendations for patients with other health issues to refrain from taking the drug?

The best way to find out is to try it yourself for a few weeks. Most doctors have professional samples in their offices which will allow you to try it. I would doubt significant GI problems would appear, but try it and find out.
