Can I still take a Saw Palmetto supplement (DHT blocker) if I'm taking finasteride 1mg daily?

awsomewave
I am currently taking Dr. Formula's DHT blocker which contains Saw Palmetto (a natural DHT blocker) as well as other herbs & vitamins - & I am considering taking finasteride 1mg per day for hair loss. Is it ok to continue taking this natural DHT blocker if I start taking 1mg daily finasteride? The herbs & vitamins in this formula have helped - which is why I wish to continue taking it if allowed.
