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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

I've been dealing with acne and my doctor prescribed Tretin ISO 10mg capsules along with Acnelack face wash. I've heard a lot about the AHA Glow face wash though and I'm wondering which one would be better for my skin. Should I stick with Acnelack or try AHA Glow instead? I want to make sure I'm using the best option to help clear up my acne.

I'm a bit confused about when to apply Epiduo and Zyclin for my back. Should I use them both during the day, or is it better to apply one in the morning and the other at night? I'd appreciate some guidance on getting the most effective results.
Both Epiduo and Zyclin are typically applied in the evening before bedtime. For Epiduo, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening. For Zyclin, apply a thin layer to the affected area once daily in the evening as well. It is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist for the best results.
