Donating Blood And Propecia?
Anyone that is taking any type of medication should talk to their physician and to the blood bank. When taking Propecia is it not recommended to give blood, even though many people believe it is their obligation.
The reason for this is even though it is an FDA approved medication, to treat male pattern baldness, many medications including Propecia can be dangerous for the person that will receive the blood.
Blood banks do not usually allow people taking any type of medication to donate blood and if the person taking Propecia stops taking the medication, they still should not donate blood for at least one month after they stopped. This is because any type of medication takes time to get out of the body and this is true with the male pattern baldness medication. Among the ingredients in Propecia is finasteride, this was originally used in treating prostate cancer, which makes it a drug that needs to be completely out of the system prior to blood donation.
