Got gynocomastia on finasteride 1mg

2024-06-20 14:53:50
So I have androgenetic alopecia and a dermatologist prescribed oral finasteride 1mg; after 2-3 weeks I am noticing tenderness and puffiness around the chest, and shrinkage of private parts. After bringing this up with the dermatologist I'm prescribed another medicine called dutasteride, which I guess is similar to finasteride. So what are my option now that topical solution isn't effective and finasteride gives me side effect? Thank you
