Also curious on this subject also....could anybody give a good answer to this question. I am also on finasteride and want to know if taking saw would be a good/bad idea. From what I have read finasteride stops DHT II and Saw DHT I? Is that correct? DHT II is the DHT that effects your hair the most. So do you think any use in saw? Any effect/non effect?

from what i have heard all you will do is increase the risk of side effects

a small update:
i know saw palmetto won't do much by itself by in addition to finasteride i think it's better

i'm only using 0.25 mg finasteride and takking my SP every other day

for a week and a half now, and i've allready notice less shedding
maybe i'm wrong but before i started finasteride i was 7 mounth on 320MG SP and minoxidil with good results ( i don't sure if the result came from minoxidil or SP)

last line is sp not worth much to combat hair loss but in addtion to big three i think it's worth a try

What is the point of using the saw palmetto? your taking finasteride if you want to fight the hairloss more take .5mg of finasteride instead. Why would you risk mixing an herbal supplement that might change dht when your taking a drug specifically made to lower dht? The interaction of those is not known. Not to mention saw palmetto isnt gonna do anything near what finasteride does. Sites that say otherwise are full of it.

Keep us update please, have you considered looking for other herbs that help with estrogen and/or down regulate adrogen receptors

he there i listen to acbdef advice and stop taking SP because i felt some pain in the balls

but i still think sp and finasteride is a strong combination..
sp by itself is weak
