i got a buddy who's kinda a hypocondriac about hair loss. so he got a finasteride script. i know it doesn't go good with deca but is it all nandrolones and is there anything else it doesn't go well with. escpecially eq since he's on that now? thanks

Finsateride acts in the scalp by blocking DHT, which is the main cause MPB (male patter bladness)..so any AS which has DHT prperties, it will help.
Test converts to DHT so it will help with test
Also, Halo & Proviron

Proviron is already 5-AR reduced so fin wont do shit for it. In fact its basically 17aa DHT! He will shed like a dog in summer if he takes Proviron!

incorrect..proviron is 1alpha methyl dht..

Lanky what is your take on the whole finasteride and deca issue?


ohh boy....I have similar feelings as others on the whole 5ar nandrolone (DHN) being less androgenic than nandrolone itself...(just theory).

though the nandrolone finasteride combo may have some benefits..combining the two may allow a longer half life of nandrolone because it wont be deactivated as easily( 4 ene wont reduce as fast)...How does this pertain to a BB cycle you say?...possibly a lower dose of nandrolone decanoate can be given per injection to yield similar results to a full dose of deca wiothout a 5 ar inhibitor..leading to a longer cycle for the amount you bought..thus saving you cash and increasing your gains.. win/win


a second thought is that the half life being increased combining the finasteride with the nandrolone you wont have to inject as often,,therefore leading to a longer cycle for your money.. win/win

then there is the possible hairloss issue

So you are saying that its not already 5-ar reduced?

So are you saying its not bad on hair?

Because if you are, that goes against every post I have ever seen on the subject of proviron.

i dont know how you came up with those questions?

i was just refering to your statment that proviron was "basicly 17aa dht" , i just corrected your statment saying proviron is 1alpha methyl dht.

dht is a 5 ar androgen--correct,

as for bad on the hair,,that depends on the person..and what is actually in the pill (sometimes not what you think is in there)
 
thanks for the replies guys. what would you all suggest prevent hair loss in a test/deca cycle...the finasteride would work with test but i'm hearing it's bad to take it with deca. any other product i could suggest to him

polysorbate 80
minoxidal azelaic acid
nioxin
nizoral
 
just try it out bro...see what happens..i used in the summer 2003 the combo finasteride and deca with var caps (i supposed it was var) and creatine..it was the best cycle since years..people noticed my weight gain and my bulking arms héhé...but i was shedding very heavy..it came all back..what made me shed? was it the finasteride that i start taking with my cycle-was it the combo deca and finasteride- or was the var just d-bol??? who knows.....somebody has to try...why not try a combo of npp and finasteride for 4 weeks??? i will try that one after my current cycle of npp and tbol

My next cycle i'm going to try running test/npp w/ finasteride. We'll see what happens.

It he is considering deca, he wont need the finestride.

not true at all; if he is prone to hairloss and stop finasteride will start to lose his hair again; i will do in july a cycle of Npp and finasteride to debunk this stupid myth

The "myth" that you speak of is that nandrolone/finasteride will cause hairloss. If he is using deca alone then saying he won't need finasteride is CORRECT because nandrolone will lower dht levels, and you don't want to chance losing hair by adding finasteride.

This is incorrect information. Finasteride does not block dht, it blocks (or inhibits) the 5ar enzyme which is what converts test into dht. Therefore, finasteride will only work with test, and anything that is already a dht derivative could definitely cause hair loss that finasteride cannot prevent. Finasteride will not help with halo or proviron. Get your facts straight bro before you advise people to lose their hair.
 
its funny how i have taken 17aa dht, and did not loose a hair,,,just incredibly horny and powerfull and was anabolic @ around 50mg/day or less. a few times i went over 100mg a day just to test it,,,my back was sopping with oil. skin on my face started to look unhealthy on that dose ,looked like i aged 10 years in a matter of weeks.

i meant...if a person used finasteride before becasue prone to hairloss and stop to use it to take deca he will lose his hair plus when he starts finasteride again the drug will be less efficient

Did you not hear what I just said? No he won't lose his hair because deca will lower test and dht levels through suppression. All finasteride will do is make the deca stronger and chance losing hair that way. Aren't you the guy who tried to convince people by quoting some doc who said ALL steroids raise testosterone? Hair loss is not an absolute science so quit pretending to have all the answers. Most of what you know does not apply to steroid use toolbe.

i hear mate i do not believe it; so stop to give advice to people based on what??? I base all on studies and medicine you?? and i start to be tired of you. I tried to be friendly so sometimes i refrained to say what i think of your UNSOUND theories but now you are really pissing me off so if you do not mind do not refer to me anymore and lose the attitude

None of your studies are based on steroid use.....NONE OF THEM! It's fine to give advice, but your giving orders, and claiming what you know to be absolute. When someone says something contradictory, you tell people not to listen to them or all their hair will fall out. That'd be fine if it was someone who didn't know what they were talking about, but I do and it makes you mad because some of it goes against what you pretend to know.

look like you are getting mad mate lets analyse what i said:

i meant...if a person used finasteride before becasue prone to hairloss and stop to use it to take deca he will lose his hair plus when he starts finasteride again the drug will be less efficient

1) if u stop to use finasteride and start again the drug becomes less potent
from one of the best dermatologist in the US and expert of the website hairloss help Dr. Bernstein
http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/open-house5.php

Attendee: I know Propecia is good in keeping hair, but once you start it how do you know if it is working?

Dr. Bernstein: That’s a great question! There is a dilemma in going on Propecia, because once you go on Finasteride, there is no way to judge if it’s working unless you stop using it. And if you stop the medication, you’ll lose the hair that you gained or at least the hair that you held onto with the medication. If you stop the medication and lose this hair, when you restart Propecia the hair will usually not return to the level of fullness you had before you stopped. You will be at a new, lower baseline. So you really don’t want to stop the medication once you start. What you have to do is make sure you have a doctor make a correct diagnosis of androgenetic hair loss and then just continue to take it – as long as you want to have its benefits.

2)
if a person used finasteride before, becasue prone to hairloss, and stop it to take deca he will lose his hair

ok this for 2 reasons

first deca even if is a mild steroid its mildness apply to people that do not have alopecia androgenetic. If a person prone to hairloss get deca without protection will lose his hair
from the steroid profile in stereoidology forum

Deca
Active Life: 14-16 days
Drug Class: Anabolic/Androgenic Steroid (injectable)
Average Dose: Men 300-800 mg/week.....Women 50-100 mg/week
Acne: Yes, in higher dosages or sensitive individuals
Water Retention: Yes, but less than testosterone
High Blood Pressure: Dose depandant
Liver Toxic: No
Aromatization: Low, converts to less active norestrogens
DHT Conversion: No, converts to NOR-DHT with low activity
Decrease HPTA function: Yes, extreme
Other Info: Highly anabolic/moderate androgenic effects

if you read deca convert on nor-DHT and still is a moderate androgenic. So while for aperson without hereditary hairloss is good news for a person that fight to keep the hair even without steroid still can harm the scalp!!!

+

2) if a person who take finasteride stops , will lose all the hair that has gained


from propecia website and you will find this in any studies and backed by any dermatologist in any part of the world obviously not krishna world

PROPECIA can only work over the long term if you continue taking it. If you stop taking PROPECIA, you will likely lose any hair you have gained within 12 months of stopping treatment.

==================================================

now last but not least the myth deca + finasteride = more hairloss

in one of my other threads i published an email from a well known dermatologist (american) who also had experience in curing alopecia among bodybuilders. And in this sense although i have to agree there are not studies on this however i believe more to an important dermatologist frankly than you. I will test this myth by myself in july anyway

Hi Dr. X

i started to take care of my hair when i was 20 (now i am 37) and i was diagnosed with alopecia androgenetic by a well known xxxx dematologist. since then i manage with best doctors and products to maintain all my hair.

Now, i decided to do a cycle of Deca durabolin (nandrolone-NPP)at 200/300 mg per week for 8-9 weeks. I stress that here in the UK the personal use of steroids is perfectly legal.


Your genetic disposition is the most important factor in MPB, and Deca durabolin (nandrolone) can exacerbate it if you have a genetic predisposition for MPB.

I have read that the use of finasteride (which i do) and nandrolone would cause hairloss; so i would like to know , if possible,
do you think is a myth in your experience the negative interaction of nandrolone/finasteride ?

It is a myth. If you are going to be taking steroids, there will be an increase in the serum level of testosterone. However, you will be relieved to know that the increased testosterone does not necessarily exacerbate MPB in all patients.
It would be wise to decrease the DHT and that would be fairly simple. I think that the best single product for preventing and reversing MPB is 5% minoxidil / 5% azelaic acid promotes hair growth and prevents the synthesis of DHT in the scalp. The alternative is for you to take finasteride (Propecia or quartered tablets of Proscar). I would still suggest using 5% minoxidil with finasteride because the effects of the two medications are additive and complementary. Perhaps, the most effective medication to decrease both the amount and the effect of DHT in the scalp would be topical spironolactone. There are three distinct benefits of topical spironolactone in the treatment of MPB. (1). Spironolactone significantly reduces the amount of DHT in the scalp by inhibiting the conversion of precursor steroids to DHT. (2). Spironolactone reduces the DHT in the scalp by converting localized testosterone into estrogen, which is thought to be protective of the hair follicles. (3). Spironolactone blocks the follicular androgen receptor sites, thereby rendering any residual or circulating DHT harmless to the hair follicles. Rather than reducing the levels of circulating (serum) DHT like finasteride does, it prevents DHT from making a complex with the androgen receptor protein.
=================================================

so the effect of stopping finasteride + the effect of a mild steroid but still steroid on the head of a person prone to hairloss will be a fucking DISASTER now please piss off Ileave clever people to judge...

Hahahaha... you posted it AGAIN. Your "trusted" doc said that deca would raise serum testosterone levels. What a moron. Dude, read deca's dht conversion. It says it converts to dhn (or nor-dht) which has low activity. This is what I've been saying all along. If you don't let it convert, it stays more potent. In the first part of Doc Moron's post he says not to stop using propecia or your hair will fall out and it will become less potent. This would make sense if deca weren't in the picture. This advice is for a regular person and is not concerned with steroids. When confronted with the issue of steroids, Doc Retard said deca would raise testosterone. If you don't want me to bash your posts, then don't post assinine shit. Reading your retarded shit hurts my brain. I can't believe you still don't get it. WHY DON'T YOU GET IT? Are you that dense?

can't you two work together instead of breaking each other???

cop i do not want to argue with anyone; and i do not get upset as said if someone disagree for what i say because this are not my arguments are just widely known in hairloss forum, repeated many times by members who use gears and doctors..

I said that i would have tested gear that is good to build muscle and easy on the hairline and i started

anavar is my first review; then i will do deca + finasteride becasue i am 180 % positive that nothing will happen and then i will test oral turinabol.

this sounds good :article of 13/03/2007 Researchers in Japan have just published a study where they succeeded in culturing dermal papilla cells for more than 30 passages (generations).

Usually when cells are cultured they lose their properties after only a few passages rendering them useless. Therefore being able to culture cells for more than 30 passages means that the amount of cells you can clone from a single source is significantly greater.

They were also able to induce the formation of new hair follicles by injecting these cells together with epidermal cells into mice.

Based on their study they concluded that fibroblast growth factor-2 is essential for the culturing of dermal papilla cells.




Long-Term Culture of Mouse Vibrissal Dermal Papilla Cells and De Novo Hair Follicle Induction
Tissue Eng. 2007 Mar 6
Osada A, Iwabuchi T, Kishimoto J, Hamazaki TS, Okochi H.
Department of Tissue Regeneration, Research Institute, International Medical Center of Japan, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan.
We have succeeded in culturing dermal papilla (DP) cells long term and developed new techniques that enhance their hair follicle-inducing efficiency in a patch assay.

The outgrowing DP cells from mouse vibrissae were markedly stimulated by 10% fetal bovine serum-Dulbecco’s modified essential medium that included fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2). Moreover, the potency of proliferation was maintained during serial cultivations (more than 30 passages).

We combined these established DP cells with epidermal cells and implanted them subcutaneously into athymic mice to examine their hair follicle-inducing ability.

New hair follicles were induced by dissociated DP cells at earlier passages (under passage 4), but the cells from later passages could not induce follicles. We next aggregated the DP cells to form spheres and then injected them with epidermal cells. Unlike the dissociated DP cells, the spheres made from the later passaged cells (more than 10 passages) did induce new hair follicles.

We examined several genes specific for DP of anagen follicles and confirmed that their expression level was elevated in the spheres compared with their expression level in adherent DP cells.

These results suggest that FGF-2 is essential for dermal papilla cell culture and that sphere formation partially models the intact DP, resulting in hair follicle induction, even by later passaged cells.

very good cop thanks for the info! but i hope i will never need; i have to say with the all meds and docs visits that i did since 1987 i have lots of hair :chomp:

obviously becasue you do not suffer of alopecia adrogenetic (hereditary hairloss) :rolleyes:

Exactly. One person will shed on tbol, another won't. Everyone reacts different. Magik, it's good that you test things on yourself, but all it's going to show anyone is what that particular gear does to YOU, and no one else. What applies to YOU, will likely be different for everyone else.
