I’m Pregnant and Touched Proscar!

How is Proscar “crushed” absorbed through the skin? I touched Proscar crushed diluted in water and my skin is intact (no cuts or tears, etc.) and I am a female and pregnant. Is it only absorbed through the skin if the skin has an open area?

And is the fact it was diluted in water decrease the risk of absorption, if it can be asorbed through intact skin?

I asked my physician and he did not know.

Worried in Ohio…

It is HIGHLY unlikely you will have absorbed any significant amount of the drug by touching it with intact skin. The warning label, in my opinion, is more medical-legal in nature. The risk is so minute I would not even think twice. The impact on the fetus had been noted when women had taken large doses of the natural equivalent of finasteride as it was in their diet. The impact only occurs in the first trimester when it is ingested, as I understand it.
