A member asked:

I take propecia for hair loss. if i took a supplement to lower heart rate would it make the propecia not work as effective or cause more hair loss?

Dr. John Chiu answered

What supplement?: Although it is unlikely that the supplement you take (unless it has testosterone-like effect) would interfere with Propecia's effect on your hair, it is impossible to tell without knowing which supplement you are talking about since I am not aware of any supplement which slows down the heart rate.
