Finasteride is a great drug which might help but you; however, you must understand the risks before going forward. The sexual side effects are about 4% risk and the post-finasteride syndrome could be as high as 1%.
I would assume it is atypical for doctors not to prescribe Finasteride to their patients after performing a transplant. But has anyone heard of this? I am considering an FUE transplant at some point, but after reading some of the studies and research on Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) I am concerned my doctor will “require” it. […]
I understand thank you once again. I was simply asking if oral min was generally considered safer in the long term then fin? The answer for the drug finasteride and oral minoxidil is that if you don’t develop complications from the drugs, then they are safe for you. For example, oral minoxidil has a very […]
I have a great deal of difficulty thinking that a single 1 mg dose of finasteride which is out of the blood stream in under 24 hours, could produce Post Finasteride Syndrome (PFS). Could this be the power of suggestion? A guys talks about getting PFS after 1 pill from tressless
The science papers suggest that the sexual side effect (the focus of most men on this site) are less than 2% and are reversible if stopped early. The nocebo effect is much higher as young men bring on their sexual side effects by obsessing over taking the drug, and reading forums that suggest that this […]
Hi doctor, what do you think of this article? https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-courts-secrecy-propecia/ TLDR: The article indicates that Merck appears to have lied about side mental effects of this drug. I have read the article previously. There is nothing to link finasteride to the change in behavior with absolute certainty. This type of change can happen in mental illness […]
From Reddit: So, I recently did a AMA on hair transplant, answered many questions and reacted to several people’s stories. I want to make something clear to everybody interested in or planning a HT. Fin is mandatory. Unless you just want to correct a shitty natural hairline and have solid reasons to believe you have no […]
Recently, I got a prescription for oral finasteride from my dermatologist. I’m a bit nervous to take the oral route due to the side effects that appear to be somewhat common and the possibility of the post-finasteride syndrome. I have learned that my pharmacy is able to compound 5% minoxidil with 1mg Finasteride into a […]
Looking back at my times with fin I just realized how different everything is without it now . I thought my only side was the constantly lower libido but if I think about it my memory was a lot worse, and I was actually kind of lifeless a lot of times , but I don’t […]
Has there been any definitive studies done on which genes have an effect on post-finasteride syndrome (side effects that persist after discontinuation of Fin)? ARTICLE: https://www.smoa.jsexmed.org/article/S2050-1161(16)30075-7/abstract Very interesting. I just read the full article and I will quote the last of the result analysis and the conclusion of the article. My interpretation suggests that the […]
the longer you take fin the more chances side effects increases. Going off fin despite length of time (ie 2 months vs 2 years or vice versa) can lead to hormone crash. Fin makes your hairloss worse years after stating treatment Would love to know as these three kinda scare me. If it’s a fact […]
Yes, some women can and maybe should take finasteride if they have Polycyctic Ovarian Syndrome and hair loss or Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (an autoimmune disease which causes hair loss in women). It should NOT be taken by women who have hair loss and might get pregnant as it can cause fetal hermaphrodites which is a […]
Dr. Rassman’s Comments: I fully understand the clinical science that is stated below; however, this reflects a minority of patients who take this drug who report side effects. Many people have no side effects and great results from the drug finasteride. Despite this, everyone on this drug should read these comments carefully because his concerns […]
There is a condition called ‘post finasteride syndrome’ (PFS) which reflect on people who keep their sexual side effects after stopping finasteride. Depending upon your age, ED is present normally in 20% of men in their 20s and 30% of me ,in their 30s, so it is often difficult to tell what is PFS or […]
