Thread: Will Propecia ON cycle hurt my gains?

I don't think so, I am on 1mg of Merck Propecia ed. All it does is block the conversion to DHT. I have been on Propecia for 5 years constantly. Also on week 6 of a run.

thats good to hear, i just figured since it blocks dht, and dht has some play in building muscle so it may hurt gains
also wondering if id have to up the AI dose since dht would be down if i started propecia

From what I understand, your body doesn't produce enough to really see any increased affect from the dht even from the increased conversion from the test. You would have to use a synthetic dht derivative.

Good info from VictorZ06 thru pm
