A doctor’s opinion on finasteride and pregnancy

“I don’t know of any data that shows finasteride deleterious for men wangling to conceive but I do tell my patients that if they know they are actively trying to conceive then it is prudent to go to topical. Although hundreds of thousands of men have probably conceived while on finasteride without any know association at the same time no one is going to study to issue to see if we get birth defects by taking medications purposefully while trying to conceive. It just depends on how conservative you wish to be.”
