Interesting stuff.

lookey what I found on a link Temples posted

To increase absorption of Finasteride and help avoid any loss of that precious 1 - 1.25mg due to digestion; preferably take on an empty stomach ( officially Proscar can be taken with / without food ) with a glass of grapefruit juice. Grapefruit juice contains enzymes that help slow down digestion thus boosting ( more or less doubling ) your bloodsteam uptake of Finasteride.

.....but anyone here taking statins (for cholestoral) be warned drinking too much Grapefruit juice whilst on statins can be lethal!!!!!

Shocking but true, read an article just the other day, the concern relates to only two types of statins (one made by Merck).


Good Luck

Which reminds me:

After I stopped Propecia and restarted with Proscar, I had been taking "Mega-G", a weight loss supplement with grapefruit extract. I was having SEVERE sides at the time. I literally felt like I was dying. It wasn't until I read that article that I made the connection.

So I warn my fellow male pattern baldness bros: DO NOT take grapefruit extract while on finasteride! I don't know about grapefruit JUICE, but I would imagine your sides would be much higher since that article says it more or less doubles the drug in your blood stream.

Proceed with caution!
