Finastride query
Hi Doc,
The finastride drug is prescribed 1 mg daily for hair loss. I searched for side effects like libido,brain fog and so on. Even though side effects are mild why do you dermatologist prescribe such dangerous medicine. Personal experience (I only take minodoxil,prp, multivitamin tablets) it's been 10 years and my hair is fine. It can reduce dht but it cannot eliminate dht. Why this medicine is being used if it's dangerous.
