Finasteride sold as Propecia has been shown to help control hairloss and to reduce the chance of prostate cancer. The effect on prostate cancer is the most interesting. It reduces the incidence of prostate cancer by as much as 25%. But the men that did develop prostate cancer after taking finasteride had high grade cancer, this is a bad thing. So taking finasteride might, read it might, cause you to develop a high grade prostate cancer, If you were to develop prostate cancer.

Finasteride combats hairloss through acting on DHT receptors. Primo induces hairloss by eventually acting on DHT receptors. The answer is yes indeed.

Deca is actually a nondrolone, and from all the research I've done, is the only steroid that has a reverse effect with finasteride. Primo is a dehydroboldenone (DHB) derivative, and has little to no interaction with the 5ar enzyme. So no, it won't have a reverse effect.

This isn't what I thought but this came directly from my source. Makes me wonder if he has any idea about what he is doing or selling.. Can anyone shed some light on this for me. My question to him was that I wanted to take finasteride indefinately.. But I was currently on a NPP/Tren cycle..
His response...."Actually deca helps hair loss according to some since it is
progesterone based and does not convert to DHT. Proscar has no effect on tren/deca, neither sides or effectiveness.."

The research is not real clear with tren, but from what I've read, it's chemical structure doesn't allow it to bind to the 5ar enzyme; therefore, there is no reverse effect with tren. Deca is very potent in its original form. When it interacts with the 5ar enzyme, it is reduced to a milder form called dehydronandrolone (DHN). By taking a 5ar inhibitor such as finasteride, you don't allow deca to reduce, so it stays in its original/more androgenic form, which is harsher on the hair. There is some truth to what your guy was saying. If you take deca by itself, it will compete for the 5ar enzyme, making it less readily available to bind to test and convert to DHT. Plus it will eventually reduce your DHT levels altogether by suppressing you and reducing your test levels. If you take it with test, however, there will be too much test competing for the 5ar enzyme to have much of a positive effect on reducing DHT levels. If you stack test with deca, you're screwed in different ways depending on whether you take finasteride or not. I, personally, plan to avoid this stack and keep my hair.
