Does someone know if milk thistle can reduce the effectiveness of propecia?

I've been taking both for years and the Propecia still seems to be working for me (been on it ten years now)

Gimme Poontang you said you been on propecia for 10 years can i ask if you had problem having kids or you don't have kids????

i have been on propecia for 4 years and i just stop it 2 weeks ago because we want to have kids next years so the doctor said it would be better to stop it for now

because milk thistle is supposed to do something with certain liver enzymes.I asked a doctor and she said that it could interact.however another said this is nog the case.

i have been taking proscar 2.5 mg(first 4 years 1mg ) for years now and in january i started protandim. i has 5 herbs in it and last year i noticed more hairloss and balding.However other things like muscle ache , concentration loss and very tired,i had experienced where almost gone,after years of doctor visits who could not find anything, and i am only 32.So this supplement is doing something,believe it or not.

So i started investigating and i noticed milk thistles working.However there is also ashwanganda in it and that is supossed to have a testosteron elevating effect.So i really dont know it anymore,but it is a hard choice because i feel so much better with these supplements.Maybe the effects are from elevated hormone levels and i just need them to feel okay.
