Use of the drug remains widespread. It is now sold as Propecia and, since 2013, in generic versions under the chemical name finasteride. Last year alone, finasteride was prescribed for hair loss more than 1.6 million times in the United States, according to healthcare data company IQVIA. U.S. President Donald Trump has taken it, according to summaries of his past two annual physical exams.
From 2009 to 2018, the FDA received about 5,000 reports of sexual side effects or mental health side effects – and in many cases, both – occurring in men who took Propecia.
5000 out of 1.6 million, checkmate. Independent studies have shown the same rate of side effects in dozens of studies. U are one of the most ironic retards i have ever met, i have no doubt u are American. U only take studies or stories serious if they confirm ur opinion. U consider dermarolling to be working without doubt, yet there is far and compelling more evidence that finaster is safe, than that dermarolling works against Androgenetic Alopecia. Yet u blindly follow it like the clueless bastard u are. U are far more against finasteride than i am pro, yet u try to pin it on me. If i had side effects i would have just quit and if i do in the future i will, which i also advice others. But u should really stop spewing ur nonsense on the internet.
