  5. I've been using Finasteride (Finpecia 1 mg) for about four years and its been working great for me. Now that I've started working out, Im planning to use a whey protein supplement. Is there any chance that the protein will interfere with the Finpecia or cause any issues?

Finasteride (Finpecia 1mg) and whey protein supplements are generally considered safe to use together, as they work through different mechanisms and have distinct metabolic pathways. Finasteride is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Whey protein supplements may increase kidney workload, but this is typically only a concern for individuals with pre-existing kidney issues.
