Bach Flower Remedies + Finasteride
Finasteride brand names: Propecia, Proscar.
We found no known interaction between Bach Flower Remedies and Finasteride in our sources. Absence of a documented interaction is not the same as proven safety, and does not guarantee one does not exist. Do not start, stop, or change a medication or supplement based on this page; confirm with your pharmacist or doctor first.
Bach Flower Remedies and Finasteride
We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.
No Known Interaction Found
We did not find a documented interaction between Finasteride and Bach Flower Remedies in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.
If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.
Bach Flower Remedies safety at a glance
Pregnancy & breastfeeding ratings are from Natural Medicines (Therapeutic Research Center) — the full detail is in the Special populations card below. Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.
Why No Interaction Is Listed for Finasteride
Interactions in our licensed database are recorded against drug classes, not just single drug names. Finasteride is filed under 3 classifications — including cytochrome p450 3a4 (cyp3a4) substrates, oral drugs. Bach Flower Remedies has documented interactions with 2 drug classes — the most serious being disulfiram (antabuse) (major) and metronidazole (flagyl) (moderate) — and none of Finasteride’s classifications are among them.
Classification data comes from our licensed Natural Medicines dataset. A medication can belong to classes beyond those recorded there, so this describes how the check was run — it is not a safety guarantee.
Bach Flower Remedies Does Interact With Other Medications
Bach Flower Remedies has 1 major, 3 moderate known drug interactions in our database — Finasteride isn’t one of them. If you take anything else, check it against the full list below.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Finasteride page
“The supplement list for finasteride (Propecia, Proscar) is one I would read carefully rather than skim, because three of its 138 entries are rated major. Almost everything here works through the same liver enzyme, CYP3A4, that clears finasteride.”

About Bach Flower Remedies
What is Bach Flower Remedies?
- Stress and anxiety
- Emotional balance
- Fear and worry
- Low mood
- Sleep difficulties
- Coping during stressful events
Bach Flower Remedies are extremely diluted flower preparations promoted to support emotional well-being rather than treat physical illness. High-quality research has not shown they work better than a placebo, but they are generally considered low-risk. The main concern is their alcohol (brandy) content, especially for children, people avoiding alcohol, and during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Bach Flower Remedies is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Bach Flower Remedies record says about it on its own.
Bach Flower Remedies: dosing
There is no scientifically established or standardized dose for Bach Flower Remedies. Avoid taking large amounts, mainly to limit alcohol intake.

About Finasteride
What Is Finasteride Used For?
Brand names: Propecia, Proscar
Finasteride tablets (including the brand Proscar) are used in men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH) to improve urinary symptoms, lower the risk of acute urinary retention (a sudden inability to urinate), and reduce the need for prostate surgery. Finasteride tablets may also be used alongside the alpha-blocker doxazosin to slow the progression of BPH symptoms.
Propecia (and finasteride 1 mg coated tablets) is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men only. Propecia is not approved for use in women, and its effectiveness for hair loss at the temples has not been established. Finasteride is not approved for the prevention of prostate cancer.
