learn Aloe vera

learn Finasteride

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.

learn Dutasteride

Will I notice changes in my body if I start taking dutasteride? Dutasteride lowers DHT, so labels and trials describe prostate shrinkage over 3-6 months and, off-label, slowed hair loss; the same sources list sexual side effects that may persist after stopping, breast and semen changes, rare allergic reactions, and an observational link to depression.
