Dear Doctor,
Recently I have been prescribed with Tribestan to boost my testerone level. But i have been taking Propecia for a year now and the effect from propecia is good and i am a more confident man now of course with more hair too.My question is can Tribestan be taken together with Propecia? will it cause more hairloss? or any side effects?
Thank in advance. Desperately needing a answer… Best Regards
Tribestan is not a medication. It is a natural supplement that is available over the counter without a prescription. Since Tribestan is not a FDA approved product, there is no medical evidence for its efficacy or its precise mechanism of action. There are endless internet sites that promote Tribestan (as I have found), but there are no formal FDA approved or medical data on Tribestan, nor are there any studies that show safety and / or effectiveness. For those reasons there is no way for me to tell if there would be adverse effects when taken with Propecia. There is no medical evidence.
I do not know your medical history to know how or why your “testosterone level” is low. Perhaps you should be seen by your primary care doctor for a complete physical.
