This review examines the pharmacology, clinical efficacy, and adverse effects of oral finasteride for female pattern hair loss, and discusses potential new treatments like topical finasteride and dutasteride, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that a low-dose intermittent finasteride regimen significantly reduced hirsutism scores in adolescent girls with PCOS or idiopathic hirsutism, with similar efficacy but potentially safer and less expensive than continuous administration.

This case report describes a 68-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer who experienced significant improvement in visual acuity after stopping tamoxifen, which was associated with bilateral optic neuropathies.

This study found that coadministration of 5α-reductase inhibitors with oral testosterone in oil significantly increases serum testosterone levels in medically castrated men compared to testosterone alone, with food intake minimally affecting these levels.

This article discusses androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results.

In this study, researchers demonstrated that in a mouse model, the stimulation of mammary tumor growth due to progesterone is primarily caused by its metabolite, 5αP, not progesterone itself.

This study found that finasteride decreased DHT-stimulated AR activity and cell growth in prostate cancer cells with mutant AR, but not in those with wild type AR.

This paper presents two cases of rare intraorbital ophthalmic artery aneurysms associated with arteriovenous malformations and discusses their clinical presentation, pathogenesis, and management, but reports no new clinical outcomes.

This study found that combining 5-alpha reductase inhibitors with alpha-blockers provided the best symptomatic relief and reduced the risk of clinical progression for BPH, while PDE5 inhibitors could offset sexual side effects.

Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.

This report describes the clinical and histopathological features of lipoid proteinosis in a brother and sister with lid lesions, highlighting the importance of recognizing such lesions for diagnosis.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

In this case report, the authors suggest an association between prolonged finasteride use and anterior subcapsular cataracts, as observed in a 43-year-old man, marking the first reported instance.

Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.

This report documents the second known case of Castleman's disease in the lacrimal gland, diagnosed in an 84-year-old woman through histological examination after excising a left upper lid mass.

Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.

This study found that Italian dermatologists commonly prescribe 1 mg/day finasteride for androgenetic alopecia despite reported sexual side effects, due to its perceived long-term efficacy.

This case report details a 65-year-old woman who developed malignant melanoma in her right eye socket following previous eye trauma, treated by orbital exenteration.

This study concluded that Flaxin tablets and the reference formulation are bioequivalent in terms of absorption rate and extent when administered as a single 5 mg dose to healthy male volunteers.

Finasteride helps induce ovulation in nonresponder PCOS women.

This case report indicates that retinoblastoma can occur in a microphthalmic eye and recommends using multiple imaging techniques due to potential differences in calcification visibility.

This study found that cortexolone 17α-propionate showed strong topical antiandrogenic activity, outperforming progesterone and several known antiandrogens, but lacked systemic antiandrogenic effects in animal models.

This study presents two cases correlating the clinical appearance of adult-onset foveomacular vitelliform dystrophy with optical coherence tomography findings, describing the location of the yellow vitelliform material.

In this study, researchers developed a new prostate cancer imaging agent, a [99m Tc]tricarbonyl complex derived from finasteride, which demonstrated high radiochemical purity and significant uptake in the prostate of a rat model, suggesting its potential for noninvasive prostate cancer imaging.

This study found that chronic administration of finasteride affected the isotopic composition of testosterone and nandrolone metabolites, impacting the drug-testing outcomes in athletic contexts.

Finasteride can cause low platelet count in rare cases.

This study concluded that two different pharmaceutical formulations of finasteride were bioequivalent in terms of rate and extent of absorption based on pharmacokinetic evaluations in a randomized crossover study with 38 volunteers.

This study reported the successful development of finasteride-loaded poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) nanoparticles, with varying encapsulation efficiencies, aiming to enhance drug delivery for hair growth while minimizing side effects, and noted that an in vivo study will follow to assess efficacy.

This article reviews the causes and current treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical findings and highlighting the need for more therapeutic choices.

This study found that dutasteride is more cost-effective compared to finasteride for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia in Montenegro, justifying its funding by the national health insurance fund.
