Can Finasteride affect muscle gain?

Question

Hello, I have a hair loss problem and I use 1 mg Finasteride per a day. Now I'm doing bodybuilding, will Finasteride affect my muscle gain because I think it hinders my muscles thanks.

Matt Tahsini, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your great question. Finasteride will slightly increase your circulating testosterone. Some people think it could lead to better gain in your lean muscle mass. Finasteride may cause side effects that will interfere with your muscle building efforts. These include headaches or dizziness.

I am not aware that Finasteride can impact the musculature of the male body. I am aware that the Olympics ban this drug for fear that it will impact muscle growth positively.
