Compound Profiles
CJC-1295 (without DAC)
Short-Acting Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone Analog
Binds GHRH receptors on somatotroph cells in the pituitary gland, stimulating cAMP production and physiological GH pulses. The brief 30-minute half-life allows pulsatile release versus prolonged elevation.
Finasteride
5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor | DHT Blocker for Hair Loss & BPH
Finasteride competitively and selectively inhibits the Type II isoform of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is predominantly found in hair follicles, the prostate, and the liver. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Shared Safety Flags
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take CJC-1295 (without DAC) with Finasteride?
Yes, but with caution. Both CJC-1295 (without DAC) and Finasteride can elevate estrogen. Combined estrogenic load increases risk of gynecomastia, water retention, and mood changes. Monitor estradiol levels and consider AI if needed. Regular monitoring is advised.
Is CJC-1295 (without DAC) and Finasteride safe together?
Based on pharmacological analysis, this combination is considered monitor. However, shared safety flags include: estrogenic, teratogenic. Monitor accordingly.
What are the interactions between CJC-1295 (without DAC) and Finasteride?
Both CJC-1295 (without DAC) and Finasteride can elevate estrogen. Combined estrogenic load increases risk of gynecomastia, water retention, and mood changes. Monitor estradiol levels and consider AI if needed. This assessment has 51% confidence and is inferred from pharmacological mechanism analysis.
How should I time CJC-1295 (without DAC) and Finasteride?
CJC-1295 (without DAC) has a half-life of 30 minutes - 2 hours and Finasteride has a half-life of 6-8 hours (DHT suppression persists ~24 hours). No specific timing requirements identified for this combination, but separating administration can help monitor individual effects.
This interaction analysis is compiled from research literature and pharmacological mechanism data. This assessment is inferred from known mechanisms and may not reflect all real-world outcomes. Always consult a healthcare professional before combining compounds.
