WHOOPS! i meant to quote the guy below u soz...
Do you speak from experience sheeple, or are you following the general herd mentality... Did you now know tha experiences and thus the perspectives can vary greatly depending on the source. Ever heard of Chinese Whispers and how information can be manipulated depending on how many ears it passes? Humans tend to like gossiping about the 'dangers' of things in life, invoking fear is a distinct characteristic of human behaviour. Like fear is a defence mechanism... Though I know why you might fear because there is a chance of experiencing side effects. The guy who wrote this post might not value sexual side effects, a lack in libido, an increase in estrogen and T, or even a difference in hormones. Though we do not know greatly they might vary, I do not think you have any right to judge the functions of a drug and its side effects based on rumours or the few instances that have disproportionately lead to a drug being branded as unsafe. I feel as such male pattern baldness related anti-androgens are put on a pedestal to define the safety of said drug.
Btw. Consider the f*****g number of drugs people take out there, there are MANY of these drugs out there that f*** with your hormones to treat one thing or the other... Yet its all wrong and UNSAFE asf when its to surpress main hormones. You might be fearing your loss of identity as a male but have you even tried it to see the result?
Accutane, T supplements, birth control pills, ETC. The list is so big I dont even know to but every drug has a side effects.
Don't condemn 1 drug just because it has SUCH a big audience... A performer can only perform as well as the audience see them and like any performer there are to be a few accidents here are there. It is in this audience and the media's control to display how 'miserable' and crappy his performance was... Like I said, the source of any conflict is the source of stimuli for the human brain and a source of gossip.
Plus dutasteride is taken by those with prostate cancer anyway, don't think its unsafe then... Doctors tend to be very conservative with which druggs they want to allow to treat what. Most take a very restricted approach to the prescribing of medication (depending on where u are) and many as such are liable to view male pattern baldness as just another natural occurance that they shouldn't put too much effort into. As from the doctors I know their view is more of a come here with a real problem next time or when your actually NW7 so I can prescribe u this preventive finasteride so that you can maintain your horseshoe. Many don't even know or care about the existence of these drugs and as such haven't gottena around to investing proper drugs and treatments into male pattern baldness.
