A member asked:

If i am taking propecia (finasteride) for hair loss, is it good or bad to take pregnenolone at the same time? had brain fog while taking propecia (finasteride)...not anymore

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not take it: Why would you even want to take pregnenolone? There are little studies in humans and because it is a precursor to steroids, it carries a fair amount of risk.
