    TLDR Finasteride reduces certain hormone levels to treat prostate issues.
    The study focused on the molecular properties of finasteride, a 5α-reductase enzyme inhibitor used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by reducing serum dihydrotestosterone and prostatic specific antigen levels while increasing blood testosterone concentration. Despite its widespread use, there was limited information on its molecular characteristics. The research utilized PM3 methods of HyperCam 8.0 to calculate the total energy, net charge, and vibrational mode of melatonin to better understand finasteride's characteristics.

      Finasteride and dutasteride have potential risks, including post-finasteride syndrome, but are commonly used for hair loss. RU58841, minoxidil, and needling are suggested as alternatives, though all treatments carry risks.

      A 15-year-old is concerned about hair loss, possibly at Norwood 2 or 3, and is using shampoos and conditioners recommended by a trichologist. Suggestions include considering topical minoxidil and consulting a doctor about topical anti-DHT treatments like finasteride or RU58841, but avoiding 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors at this age.

      Finasteride significantly increased testosterone levels for the user, with no major side effects except watery semen, which was resolved with zinc supplements. The user's hairline stopped receding and slightly improved.
