finasteride side effects I should be concerned about?

[christophcr11]

I am 21 years old and my hair has gotten significantly thinner. I was thinking of telling my doctor about finasteride but then I saw all the lawsuits about it causing cancer. Is there any side effects i should be worried about when taking this drug?

Can't say I've ever heard of any myself
