Taking Pueraria Mirifica and Finasteride together

HI

Is it safe to take Pueraria Mirifica and Finasteride together? I know that Pueraria Mirifica can cause breast development, and Finasteride can stop DHT, so is this a bad mix? Would the gyno be to bad? or Would there be no gyno? What is best to take? I take 2000mg of Pueraria Mirifica a day, 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg at night, And 1mg - 5mg of fin. What do you think?

KA - I'm afraid this sounds a bit disastrous.

Both Finasteride and Pueraria Mirifica can cause Gyno, so being put together only increases the chances.

DHT cream can be used as a treatment for breast growth.

Still on the same dose and all is ok. Well some things have changed but not as thought to begin with. I have slight swelling in the chest area, but my hair has remained thick. I didn't use the cream but i am just starting to read some stuff about finasteride and the stopping of DHT. I have heard some damage has been done and irreversible? I dont think i have gyno because its just a little swollen. I noticed a bit of weight gain but that i need to sought out lol . Any suggestions on what i should do? I still take fin and PM daily.

what is really so irreversible? and why?

If you do take Pueraria Mirifica, make sure that it's farmed cultivar and NOT Ainterol or Solgar.

That is almost like the perfect recipe for gyno. I would not do it if I were you.

Well, from what i have read i believe that i have done some damage to the DHT levels in my system. I wasn't that aware that it doesn't matter how many finasteride you take, 1mg is sufficient. I took what ever because i had loads of them, so i'd take 5mg or below. I read how important it is to have DHT in our systems. I would admit to having some damage as i have noticed a reduce in sex drive, and there is some swelling in my chest. I have also felt lazy and don't even go out much. I read about brain fog, and forgetting letters whilst typing etc. I feel i have had theses also. I read this can be "irreversible" Or it can get better. Ive got to obsessed with having hair and would hate to go bald again, it was really distressing.
Its a catch 22, a case of everything doesn't run smooth. There's a reaction to every action

Well not really but yeah it could be. If i am honest i have had some swelling but i put it more down to the finasteride. I never knew about the DHT side of stuff and now i know i am a little worried. It lowers the testosterone we really need and can have bad effects of some i have encountered. Great head of hair though ! Its thicker, darker, all come back what i lost. PM on a steady dose is OK, with finasteride. Just stick to 1mg Finasteride/500mg PM. I was overdosing thinking id get hair quick! ............bit wrong i guess
