finasteride show up on a drug test?

[Swanson]

Im starting a new job and of course need to take a drug test. Ive been on finasteride for a week now and wondering if it would show up on a drug test?

 

[Cassin]

No

But even if it did...why would it matter?

 

[Swanson]

It wouldnt matter, just wanted to know if i should forewarn them that i was taking finasteride.

It can show up in Olympic grade tests since some athlete have used it to cover steroid use. But I believe they used huge doses.

Cassin is completely correct. Finasteride will show up in very stringent drug tests. It is a legal drug if you use it for legal purposes. So in the questionaire, just tell them why you are on it. You will be fine.
