    TLDR Finasteride can cause rare side effects like breast enlargement in men.
    The document reported two cases of gynecomastia, including one bilateral case, caused by the use of Propecia (finasteride 1 mg/day) for treating androgenetic alopecia. While finasteride was widely used and generally considered safe, it was important for physicians to be aware of and inform patients about the potential for sex-related adverse effects, such as gynecomastia, even though they were relatively rare.

      community Why is everyone not directly advised Dutasteride?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  169 upvotes 1 year ago
      Dutasteride is less commonly prescribed for hair loss because it is not FDA-approved for this purpose, unlike finasteride, which is more accessible and preferred due to fewer side effects. Dutasteride may be more effective in reducing DHT but has a longer half-life and potentially more significant side effects.
