Any Long Term Finasteride Studies?

Hi D0c.

Lets say I’ve been using finasteride for 6 months and then quit do to sides.

1. I have a tricky one for you, right here! Is it possible that the androgen receptor located inside the follicle might increase it’s binding activity if the synthetic enzyme inhibitation
   suddenly stops?
2. Any long-term studies on finasteride soon to come?

Thanks Doc, always a pleasure.

Although I love hearing new theories, I don’t believe you are correct.

The drug finasteride at the 1mg dose has been on the market for nearly 10 years and there have not been problems reported other than the ones that I have discussed extensively on this blog and Merck has discussed in its publications on the drug. Whether new studies are currently being performed, I don’t have the answer to that.
