Will I burden my liver if I add the Propecia and work to cut out sugar in my diet ?
Thanks
In healthy individuals, liver tests are not indicated for patients on Propecia. However, if you have pre-existing liver problems, routine liver enzyme tests should be a good enough screening for any issues. If you are particularly concerned about liver 'stress' you can have your primary doc include liver tests with your routine blood work to put your mind at ease.
Sincerely,
Dr. Alan Bauman
