    TLDR Finasteride helps reduce pain and inflammation in animals.
    The study investigated the anti-nociceptive and anti-inflammatory properties of finasteride, a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, in experimental animals. The results showed that chronic pre-treatment with finasteride increased and prolonged the analgesic effect of morphine and possessed chronic anti-inflammatory action to some extent. The study suggests that finasteride may have potential therapeutic benefits in pain management and inflammation. Further studies are needed to confirm these results with more details.
