Dear Doctor
I’ve been taking propecia for a few months now and have just recently started taking green tea capsules I heard it worked as a DHT blocker, but I saw in your book that natural DHT blockers such a saw palmetto can counteract propecia. could Green tea have the same effect.
It is possible, but probably not at reasonable doses of green tea.

this is the 5th year that i am taking propecia…
i hadn\’t any serious side effect,only decreased semen & 30% loss of morning wood!
in year 3 i began to drink green tea…at that period my breast become very itchy…! and swollen…
my theory…!!!
propecia —> reduced dht
green tea —> increased SHBG —> decreased free testosterone —> more prone to estrogen —-> breast growth!!!
but i am sure green tea only makes problems for those who take propecia…not others….!!!
