Of course you're balding hence you needing finasteride to stop/slow it down. Keep on coping finasteride is completely safe though and stop lying, the "several studies showing fina are safe" are already debunked by the meta-analysis, most of the other studies fina takers try to cope with are dermatologist studies that only focus on hair improvement.
Btw why do you think I like propeciahelp? I'll tell you a secret, a lot of those PFS guys hate people like me who post about the reality of 5ar inhibitors, they love guys like you who are ignorant and emotionally invested in their hormone treatment to save their hair and promote that poison. More people taking fina/duta > more people with PFS.
Ask the researcher from the study what the N value is but sucks for you that won't change the observations made. But it's really funny how fina lovers cope and try to dismiss every study showing the negative effects of fina as "low quality", meanwhile fina lovers still think Merck studies are the highest standard... Oh wait, "Merck Manipulated the Science about the Drug Vioxx"

Anyway cope any way you want, more and more doctors are waking up to the dangerous reality of 5ar inhibitors.
Finasteride has been added to the 'list of drugs to avoid in 2021' by a French Medical Journal
Translation from the
Journal 'Drugs to be Avoided for Better Care 2021 Report'
'Finasteride 1mg, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, has a very high efficacy in modest androgenic alopecia in men: it increases hair density only slightly on the top of the head (by about 10%), and only for the duration of the treatment. It exposes particular sexual disorders (e.g., sexual dysfunction in erection and ejaculation, decreased libido), depression, suicidal ideation and cancer of the breast. When a drug is the chosen option, local minoxidil used with care is less dangerous.'
If posting new studies about finasteride makes fina/duta users afraid then that says a lot about them. Seems they're not that convinced themselves about the safety of fina after all...
Good you acknowledge that long term inhibition of 5ar is not healthy. And your critique about these news studies showing the dangers of fina is nothing more than the same cope as above, although you do have a point but as you know big studies need a lot of funding. I'm sure we can agree we need more studies about 5ar inhibitors and the (long term) effects they have.
Anyway, these dicussions always end the same though. Agree to disagree is the best course of action for people who think 5ar inhibitors are safe.
