It's not dumb if you believe in freedom of choice. Free will, it should be nobodies business what a grown adult wants to put in their body. My body my choice as they say. If somebody is not aware of the sides of medicine it's only their fault.
Nothing you posted here indicates persistent side effects with an incidence greater than 0.8%. What are these studies suggesting a 44% incidence of sexual side effects? That's obscene. Can you post the studies here?
It is a none sense that Accutane have so many regulations while Propecia is give it as a candy, while, the suicide tendence on Accutane is caused exactly by the same thing that Propecia , inhibition of 5-alpha-reductase and neurosteroids ( like allopregnolone ) .Without Propecia I'll go bald. Do these people give a fvck? No. Forcing another person to go bald like this "patient advocacy group" wants to do is violence towards that person (Especially if that person's erection, as in my case, is excellent.):
Group sues to have hair-loss drug Propecia pulled from market
A patient advocacy group has filed a lawsuit seeking to pull Merck & Co's hair loss drug Propecia and its generic versions from the market, saying federal regulators had failed to act on evidence that it causes depression, erectile dysfunction and, in some cases, suicide.www.reuters.com

From my cold dead hands
We don't want to control it , we just want people know EXACTLY how it work . so simple like that , like a cigarrete or ok. For me, everything should be legal, it is up to you. But no using false propaganda like Merk or ....Kevin Man, lol .
Does this include propaganda and misinformation from the other point of view, or just information that fits an anti-finasteride narrative? Because the studies conducted by Irwig et al. are garbage from a statistical point of view when it comes to establishing side effect profiles and risk factors.
The studies you posted examine the side effect profile of people who already reported persistent side effects. They aren't representative of the population of people taking finasteride. Obviously if you take a sample of people who all reported persistent side effects from finasteride, you're going to find a high incidence of side effects in multiple categories within that group of people. That's not how you properly conduct statistics, it's the epitome of extreme selection bias.
You’re still writing paragraphs and essays on a thread about finasteride. Exactly the type of behavior for someone who lost all hope as finasteride didn’t work for them.
Tell us, what happen with Progesterone ( the natural finasteride of our body that control aromatase and 5-alpha reductase ) when you inhibit 5-alpha reductase ? Tell us what happen with estrogen when DHT is not present ? Tell us, in how many reaction 5-alpha reductase is part of it ? Tell us , how many hormones are inhibiting by finasteride consuption ?
They aren't highly relevant because the studies fail to prove what the incidence of persistent side effects are. Did you even bother to read what I wrote?
You're implying I didn't know this information before taking finasteride. That's not the case. I researched the medication for months before taking it, had several comprehensive bloodwork panels done prior to taking it, and continue to get bloodwork done every six months.
