Is Proscar bad for hepatitis C?

Is Proscar bad for hepatitis C?

I have been taking 1.25 mg proscar for several years. Since the hep C diagnosis and subsequent start of treatment I have come to find out that proscar is suspected to stress the liver and MAY be contraindicated for Hep C esp on peg copeg. Does anyone have any experience here?

Thanks in advance

I don't have any experience with it and all I found about it was that you may need a lower dose or special monitoring during therapy if you have a liver disease.

I don't know about taking it while on treatment, I'd check with a pharmacist and with my liver doctor.


happy holidays to you

i guess you dont have bph . your using 1/4 of a 5 mg tab in place of propecia 1 mg for male pattern baldness a lot cheaper that way esp if gen proscar . your risk benefit  you lose the hair you have grown on this med ( a very sure bet ) if you stop.but if you dont you could injure your liver more (a rare occurance ) but could occur . hair or liver liver wins . prostate or liver i might consider prostrate  depending on liver damage just my thoughts good luck on your choice

I know nothing about this but I will attempt to research more for you. I have attempted to open a new post, but have not been successful. It doesn't say that it's full & lets me post a question, but will not take it. Sorry for the intrusion, but I am wondering if anyone has been on LTD, and then approved for SSD, and how it was handled. I understand that SSD will pay  retractively for your 6th. mth. waiting period that most ins. co's. have?

HR is out of town for several weeks. I'd try again after the first of the year when he should be back.

Hope you have a nice Holiday!
