Finasteride in a cycle?

[mrt]

For the first time I am including Propecia in a cycle and wanted to get some more info on it and visited www.propecia.com

There were some interesting explanations and warnings I wanted to share with you and get your oppinion.

1- They say: "Finasteride has no affinity for the androgen receptor and has no androgenic, antiandrogenic, estrogenic, antiestrogenic, or progestational effects" which is OK, but then they also state that: " Approximately 90% of circulating finasteride is bound to plasma proteins"

Is it something bad with the so important Protein synthesis which we need during a cycle?

In short, does the use of finasteride hinder/effect the gains expected in a cycle?

2- One of its Adverse Reactions is: "Breast tenderness and enlargement"

Does that mean taking Propecia increases your risk Gyno???

Finasteride helps only with testosterone and a little with dbol hair loss.When you use finasteride your free test is incresead and your dht level is lowered.Now it's up to your body.In same case you could have the new free test turned in estradiol.In some other case you can have your free test still free.Testo is itself very powerfull in muscle growth so if you use finasteride and add an anti aromatase,you wil have a lot of test still active with no sides for your prostate and your hairline!
The only thing worst is that you could have less strenght form your test injection due to the lowered dht level.Dht is very active in nervous cell and is very good in strenght gain,while testosterone isn't.

Thanx Italianboy,

After 2.5 weeks, strenght gain on just Test Enant was OK, next week I will start OX and switch to Testoviron (Prop+Enant) for the rest of the cycle.

What about this Gyno like sides of Finasteride?

Anyone else?

I've just explained why finasteride can cause gyno.Maybe my english ins't good enough.
Well,ginecomastia is a problem given by high estradiol bound to mammry gland;this binding cause that tissue ipertrophy.
Testosterone is splited in the body like following:
-Some rest test and is called "free testosterone";
-Some become estradiol
-Some become dht
Finasteride lower the dht conversion.Now you have more testosterone.This surplus can be turned in estradiol and cause ginceomastia(=mammary glan ipertrophy).

I had theese problem when I was on 1gr testo+2.5mg finasteride and I was using no nolvadex or any anti-E.At the first gyno symptoms I started to use arimidex and those symptoms went away and I got NO ginecomastia.

I hope this time I could help.

Thanks again Italianboy,

I think I know what you say now. Taking Finasteride messes up the balance in favor of more Estradiol. Since this warning was given for normal people without extra Test in their system, those who juice with Test should be extra careful, right?
