Regarding finasteride and testosterone

2022-02-15 14:39:01
Hi, I am taking treatment for male pattern baldness and consuming finasteride tablet. Yesterday I got my blood test done and saw my testosterone is high 896.51 mg/dl. My questions: 1. Even after consuming finasteride why testosterone is high? 2. Does finasteride affects LDL cholesterol levels too?
