I'm currently looking into taking this drug to combat my hair loss and it is really important to me that I consider all the risks first because I'm really concerned about how it works by altering the body's sex hormones. I hope these responses will help me to make an informed decision but I also hope it will help anyone else considering using the drug too. Thanks for your responses.
