Belknap wonders if the system for evaluating drugs, particularly those taken for purely cosmetic reasons long-

I really don't understand this. Both finasteride and dutasteride were immediately marketed for prostate hyperplasia, which is a plague for older men.

Nobody bats an eyelid for the side effects of these two drugs related to a "non-cosmetic" disease.

When it came down to hairloss, the drugs became poison, even if their suggested dosage is 1/5 that of BPH.

As usual, those who treat hairloss result to be jerks, deluded people, and those who tried to help them were basically careless monsters.

I see the usual mania against balding people here.

It speaks for it self. Old men, their best years are behind. Any permanent side effect (if they exist) would be seen as age related. I'm also not sure for how long they take the medication when treating BHP.

They seem to be talking about the same side effects though, lol: http://patient.info/forums/discuss/anyone-have-success-with-finasteride--403801

It kinda reminds of accutane and all its class action lawsuits. I dont think anything ever came out of it nor was anything link between it and suicide and/or Crohn's disease
