TOPIC: What blood tests should I do before trying finasteride?

What blood tests should I do before trying finasteride? 08 Feb 2020 13:51 #326410

Hello folks,

I am thinking about trying finasteride (probably will try the topical version first), and I think it should all be fine, but I still wanted to get some bloodwork done just in case, to minimize the chance that I get side effects.

I was interested to read this post by MPMD:

moreplatesmoredates.com/post-finasteride-syndrome/

Derek seems to be suggesting that there are a number of red flags that you should watch out for in your blood test results, that might imply that you're not going to respond well to finasteride.

I find that very interesting, but I am struggling to reduce Derek's post to the essentials. This could have to do with the fact that I have no experience interpreting bloodwork, so maybe I simply am struggling to understand the post's punchline.

Could anyone here help me with that? I would like to get a simple list of "Things to look out for in your blood tests before starting finasteride."

From Derek's post, it seems to me that I should watch out for the following:
- Make sure that my estrogen levels aren't on the top end of the reference range.
- Make sure that my androgen index isn't too low.

Is that roughly correct? I would really appreciate it if some of the folks here could help me with this, especially the folks who have experience interpreting bloodwork.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Vasil

Hi, interesting article.

I'm your same situation about thinking to start finasteride.

I already checked my hormonal levels I have a very high Testosterone level around 1.000 ng/dl. So I should be fine by taking Finasteride for you?
