finasteride and cough

[Hairforever]

Ok at the risk of being attacked or ridiculed by the pro-finasteride brigade, I was wondering if anyone developed a stubborn cough and heartburn indigestion whilst on finasteride?

Quoted from WebMD:

"Question:Can finasteride cause stomach problems or heartburn? I already take omeprazole for heartburn. I started taking finasteride a little over a week ago and my stomach is in turmoil. Is this just a coincidence, or could the finasteride be causing the problem?

Answer:Finasteride does not have any side effects or contraindications associated with stomach problems or heartburn. In addition, there are no drug interactions found or currently reported between finasteride and omperazole. However, this doesn’t mean that drug interactions cannot exist between these two medications. Consult your health care professional or pharmacist if the stomach issues continue to worsen."

Another source saying that 8 people have reported that side effect, but they were all 60+ (so, I assume that they were taking 5mg finasteride for enlarged prostate)
