5 / 837 resultscommunity PSA: Most men who stay on Fin will see the sexual side effects go away. Stop the fear mongering
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
community Real world data from Europe shows that DUT is significantly safer than FIN in long term use
Dutasteride is safer than finasteride for long-term use, with fewer sexual side effects. Users experience better hair regrowth and fewer side effects with dutasteride.
community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.

community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
