I've been on Finasteride Finpecia 1 mg for about four years now, and it's been working great for me. But I've recently started hitting the gym and want to start using whey protein supplements. I'm a bit worried if the whey protein could react or interfere with the Finpecia. Is it safe to use both together? What should I know before I go ahead with it?

Finasteride (Finpecia 1mg) and whey protein supplements are generally considered safe to use together, as they work through different mechanisms and have distinct metabolic pathways. Finasteride is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Whey protein supplements may increase kidney workload, but this is typically only a concern for individuals with pre-existing kidney issues.
