Steam room & Finasteride

[base10]

Just a general question.

Taking finasteride and going into a steam room, is there a possibility that going into a sauna/steam room can rid your body of finasteride? Or cause you to sweat the drug out?

Thanks

No drug can be sweat out.

Hi, I've been on 1mg/day Finasteride for over 6 years now and also regularly go to the gym and steam room. Finasteride stays in your body, but the extra sweat may produce more scalp sebum, which contains DHT, so there is some evidence out there that hair loss is 'increased' after a work out. I always shampoo hair afterwards as a result. Hope that helps.
