Can you use viviscal and finasteride together?

Question

I am starting my hair growth journey as guy and want it to grow in best condition ever. So, for protein supplements I’m using viviscal and for hair loss I’m using finasteride. My question is is it okay to use them both together?

Hello Philosophical7535,
 Combination therapy to treat hair loss is extremely effective for many. Taking Finasteride and the Viviscal supplement together is not only safe but a great complement to combined medical therapy.

Many physicians tend to tackle hair loss by utilizing more than one treatment at the same time. Viviscal is a dietary supplement that is 100% drug free and should not interact with your finasteride. Viviscal supplements nourish hair from within and promote existing hair growth by providing vital nutrients to the hair that are proven to prolong the hair growth cycle. Finasteride, or generic propecia, works by lowering levels of a hormone that shrinks hair follicles, called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By doing so, it can slow hair loss by preventing the aging of hair follicles which helps men keep the hair they have and also help to increase hair regrowth. As with any drug, there are many potential side effects of taking propecia which you should discuss with the prescribing physician. Many patients see good results from using both propecia and finasteride. As always, please consult with your physician to determine the cause of your hair loss and decide whether or not this is the best, and most appropriate treatment plan for you.
