    database tracking drug and biologic safety issues post-marketing

    The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) is a database managed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that collects information on adverse events and medication errors reported by healthcare professionals, consumers, and manufacturers. This system helps the FDA monitor the safety of drugs and biologics after they are marketed, ensuring that any potential risks are identified and managed appropriately.

It could be used in combination with other topical treatments such as Minoxidil.

      The conversation is about the debate over the existence of Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) and its symptoms, with some users skeptical about PFS and others discussing side effects like erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia from hair loss treatments like finasteride. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, viagra, and a joke about using a popsicle stick for erectile support.
