A Population Pharmacokinetic Model for Individualized Regimens of Finasteride According to CYP3A5 Genotype and Liver Function

    Ji-Hun Jang, Seung‐Hyun Jeong, Yong‐Bok Lee
    Studysummary In this study, researchers found that among healthy Korean males, the clearance of finasteride was about 34% lower in individuals with the CYP3A5*3 homozygous allele compared to other genotypes, suggesting dosage adjustments may be necessary considering CYP3A5 and ALT levels to avoid adverse effects.
