Long term Heakth risks? (Gardner please reply)

[sl]

Hey guys

I am reading stories on people stoping Proscar, due to problems with DHT too lowered etc.

However i self adminstor mine, I want to know if there is long term probs using this stuff? I would rather not use it if for example I cause long term probs to my body.

I have been on it for over 2 months on 1.5mg per day. I have had shedding. But its slowed down , maybe because I am on minoxidil for 2 weeks, Im not sure.

So can anybody explain to me is there any long etrm health hazards to this medication? and also if my DHT levels are really low, what does that mean?

Thanks for any info
