Official studies of Merck are indeed very untrustworthy. The number of people who experience side effects is MUCH higher than the 2-3% that was reported, hence we're seeing forums flooded with people who have side effects.
FDA is corrupt, that's clear to many.

"The bar for “safe” is equally low, and over the past 30 years, approved drugs have caused an epidemic of harmful side effects, even when properly prescribed. Every week, about 53,000 excess hospitalizations and about 2400 excess deaths occur in the United States among people taking properly prescribed drugs to be healthier. One in every five drugs approved ends up causing serious harm,1 while one in ten provide substantial benefit compared to existing, established drugs. This is the opposite of what people want or expect from the FDA."
"Prescription drugs are the 4th leading cause of death."
"This evidence indicates why we can no longer trust the FDA to carry out its historic mission to protect the public from harmful and ineffective drugs. Strong public demand that government “do something” about periodic drug disasters has played a central role in developing the FDA.2 Yet close, constant contact by companies with FDA staff and officials has contributed to vague, minimal criteria of what “safe” and “effective” mean."
You are 18 years old and probably also virgin, you don't understand the importance of libido and having a healthy sex life. Yes, hair is important but sexual health is even more so, but you only know this when you lose it.
Young men shouldn't get on hormone treatment to save hair, that's what fina is. (and definetely bica,...)
Like I said, try every alternative first.
