Chances of gyno on finasteride

[Ben13738]

I'm 18 and I just started finasteride. I'm taking 0.5mg daily, I've been reading about the chance of getting gyno, is this something I should be worried about, is it rare to get on finasteride? What are the symptons of gyno?

It would be very rare. It would never be approved if it caused men to get b**ch tits. Plus, you can always stop if you felt like you had them.

Serious man, just watch your chest as you take it. If you are seriously concerned, keep a low body fat and develop your chest muscles.

I really doubt you will get it. It would be way more common in the forums if this were a thing.

I've been obese, and I notice that at around a body weight of ~240 lbs I start to get b**ch tits. Given that experience I think b**ch tits are a threshold effect, where they emerge above a certain estrogen level. Keep your estrogen below that level, and you're fine.

In the first month of taking finasteride my nips got a little tender and harder, so I guess that could be considered very mild gyno. However it went away along with my mild ball ache.

No symptoms anymore, though no results either. Currently 6 months on finasteride.

Is it better to take 0.5mg than 1mg? Also is generic finasteride exactly the same as propecia?
