Började äta Finasterid i samband med en HT för 7,5 år sedan. Effekten av Finasteriden har varit mycket bra. Nu ska dock min sambo och jag snart försöka skaffa barn vilket gör att jag vill göra ett uppehåll med Finasteriden. Hur långt innan själva “försöken” bör man påbörja uppehållet? Dvs hur länge finns Finasteriden i kroppen efter att man har slutat ta den? Hur långt uppehåll kan man göra utan att riskera att håravfallet upptas igen?
My husband has taken Propecia for hair loss for 8 years and I am concerned about his sperm count because we want to get pregnant. How long does it take to leave the body? Is there a danger to the fetus? Does it cause fertility problems? I am very concerned and wish he never took this drug.
In general, men can continue to take Propecia while trying to conceive. This is safe and there should not be a danger to the fetus. However, in my practice I generally advise men to stop taking Propecia for the two week mid-cycle so that there can be no question as to the safety issue and to put the patient’s mind at ease. Propecia is out of the blood stream within 24 hours and out of the tissue in a few days.
The most important part to this is to talk with your doctor and discuss these concerns with them.
