I was told by someone (not a doctor) that I probably should have a blood test before taking Finasteride because the medication changes my hormone levels. Is this true?

Answer: Finasteride- do I need blood tests? If a male is over 40, they may consider discussing with their physician whether a baseline PSA (prostate specfic antigen) is important. But baseline hormone testing is not needed. Yes the medication does lower DHT but following levels is not particularly relevant.

Answer: Finasteride You do not need to have blood tests before taking finasteride. The HAIRCHECK test if your doctor can do it will tell you how well you are responding to the drug if it is done prior and one year after taking the drug
