What does finasteride do to the female body? Find out its side effects. Finasteride is not approved for hair loss in women anywhere; the one controlled trial, in 137 postmenopausal women at 1 mg daily, found no benefit over placebo, while smaller uncontrolled studies at higher off-label doses report some improvement. It is contraindicated in pregnancy and crushed or broken tablets must not be handled. Side effects in women are poorly described; in men the range of reported side effects is wider than sexual alone (mood and suicidal thoughts, cognitive complaints, breast and semen effects), some reported to persist after stopping.
