Does Finasteride Work Better For Some Races?

Hi, Dr. Rassman!

I am of asian race, and I’m experiencing great progress with finasteride, greater than in most of cases I’ve read. Since almost all users of finasteride I know are white, I wonder: Does finasteride work better in asian men?

I wouldn’t assume finasteride response is related to race. Based on what I have observed for over a decade of treating patients with this drug, there is no pattern on race.
