Preventing Gyno While on Propecia

[mattg817]

I have been taking Propecia for about a month now, and so far no sides, and the only side that really scares me is the possibility of getting gyno (which I understand is pretty rare with 1mg finasteride). Is there anything like supplements that I should use or avoid to reduce the chance of developing gyno? Thanks a lot

you have no reason to worry about gyno on propecia,it happens but is very rare,i on the other hand have reason to worry about gyno because i
am taking avodart daily as well as 100mg of oral spironolactone

I take 100mg of Grape Seed Extract daily, it's supposed to be an aromatase inhibitor (probably very mild). I think you should try to keep in shape while taking Propecia, Proscar or Avodart; apparently fat guys are more at risk of developing gyno while on these drugs, since they already have elevated estrogen levels.

Thanks for the advice. I've heard good things about Grape Seed Extract, I'll look into that. Also, I do a lot of cardio because I go to school in the mountains (hiking, climbing), so I don't have much body fat, which I guess is a good thing.

Just keep an AI on hand, if you get the symptoms you can start using it.
