Actually I wouldn't promote finasteride at all. Nobody should take it unless they really feel like they have to because hair loss is taking over their life in a meaningful way. I think it's a pretty poor solution and it causes all kinds of problems for a way too many people. It's also a mystery what the really long term consequences are.
I just don't think I have to accept every single claim someone makes about it if I don't think it makes sense.
What do you think happens to finasteride when it is broken down in the gut and gets into the blood stream, you think it’s magically just sitting around for the craic? it starts working within hours once it’s broken down do I really need to explain basic pharmacology to you.
I suppose you were in this circle of tricologists having a wee laugh about the Milan study and it’s not so scientific methods even though it’s an incredibly prestigious university with some of the best professors in medicine.
Well you clearly have some association with the drug otherwise you wouldn’t be sitting here debating on it’s great safety record and trying to discount my testimony saying I’m crying wolf.

I don't think it has a great safety record. It's just acceptable enough to be allowed as a prescription drug. No one should be encouraged to take it or be told it's without risk. After that, it's a personal decision.
We got people here that take spironolactone and estradiol. I don't question their choice or the outcomes.
There is an estimated 300,000 men worldwide suffering from PFS. The risks are way higher than people can ever imagine and I’m a testament to that and you don’t get a second chance at life when it goes wrong with this drug that’s why men are killing themselves because there’s no way out of this hell for them.
Just out of curiosity, you think the 2-3-4% of people that have side effects as the offical statements say are fake? I'm curious about it.
They are absolutely underestimated I’d say the real figure was around 20%
In regards to increased hair loss, that's a reason I avoided finasteride and jumped to legitimate anti-androgens, not 5AR inhibitors. Finasteride is not effective in younger patients as monotherapy, which makes it a nonsensical treatment for hair loss in young patients. And, I'm not sure about your experience since normally the side effects persist once ending the medication, hence it being called 'post-finasteride syndrome'.
I said I was 28 not 20 go back and listen
Alex I think I know my age I’m 28 it was my birthday last month. It was probably picked up wrong from the recording, do I have to pull my licence out here?

Who knows, it's probably close enough to the real figure considering how many people take the stuff and don't have any major issues. It's also about how long the sides last and how severe they are. I had one side effect the first week too but nothing since then so should I be included in the data? I would say probably not.
Just seems like everybody is aware of what this stuff can do if you're unlucky and get sides so what's the point in arguing constantly? If you wanna take it then no one should stop you. If you don't wanna take it, no one should encourage you saying nothing bad can happen.
I'm also 100% sure I want to get on dutasteride but I need a script first which is tough to get I think. Don't really care what others say since it's my decision to make as long as you know what you're getting into.
you clearly say ''im a 28 years old man'' .
but than man, for a 28 years old guy you have an incredible head of hair ! i cant detect any hair loss in this video.. feels bad

22 years in the medicine market is extremely little time to be fair. These stats you pulled out of your *** with 95% are completely fine lmao. Just judging by people on this forum and my own experience sides gotta happen far more than 5%. Also it depends what do you count as side effect.

You made this same thread without the video months ago and were banned for it. That should speak to how absurd the claims you’re making are. Also, the poster who linked your symptoms to depression is probably on to something.
Honestly it’s entirely in your head or its a scientific anomaly to have that reaction from a single dose of finsteride. The odds lean towards it being completely inside your head

Put away the discussion about sides, which we know exist in a meaningful capacity for some people who take these meds.
It is a nearly statistical guarantee that obsessive hypochondriacs are taking this drug. Look at some of the people on this very forum that think they're losing their hair no matter what anyone says. They post pictures with completely full heads of hair and assure us they're experiencing hair loss even though there's NOTHING there. If you can look in a mirror and see hair loss where none exists and then ignore a thread full of people telling you that there's nothing there, you can create just about anything in your head.
Unfortunately, these same people then take medications to address their delusion that they're losing their hair and being the hypochondriacs that they are all fully aware of the possible sides. Then they start obsessing over those sides and start believing things are happening that just don't even make sense.
It's straight up fact that people like this are out there. Not everybody that comes here complaining about their hair loss or side effects or whatever else is actually experiencing those things. What are we supposed to do about it?

This is good post, but those percentage decreases are tied to patients taking 5mg/day. That’s 5x the standard dose
