Do I Have A Decreased Chance Of Getting Sides As Compared To Others If I Take finasteride?

[Lethargic_Lemuel]

My maternal grandfather was recently perscribed Proscar for BPH. Of course I know that there’s no definitive way of finding out whether or not I have a likelihood of getting side effects, and I know that my paternal side has yet to be accounted for in that aspect. But if he tolerates it well, does this by any means suggest that I will have a lower chance if getting sides? And if so, is there any literature that supports such findings?

I would say it offers little insight. Also, he is much older than you so he might not care about decreased libido, etc. On the plus side, I really think finasteride sides are exsggerated.

Yea, that much I’ve taken into account. I’m not particularly worried about the whole “crash” thing.
