This article provides an overview of the indications, interactions, and various potential adverse reactions associated with several drugs, but it reports no specific new results.

This review explores finasteride's effects on neuroactive steroid levels and their potential influence on disorders like depression and alcohol withdrawal but reports no new clinical findings.

This study found that the combination therapy of Flosin and Prostamol Uno over nine years was well tolerated and equally effective in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms as the combination of doxazosin and finasteride, with fewer adverse events reported.

In this study, nifedipine provided rapid symptomatic relief in most patients with severe recalcitrant perniosis, but some experienced side effects that limited dosage and two patients were lost to follow-up.

This study found that for metastatic colorectal cancer patients, substituting calcium folinate with disodium folinate in combination with fluorouracil and oxaliplatin showed similar effectiveness and safety as the mFOLFOX6 regimen.

The FDA approved a new breast cancer treatment, found flu shots may reduce heart risks, questioned the safety of fast-tracked drug approvals, showed statins don't help with certain pneumonia, and approved a new dementia imaging agent.

This study found that an intranasal gel containing risperidone-loaded glycethosomes significantly enhanced drug bioavailability and improved neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects in schizophrenia-induced rats compared to oral therapies, suggesting a promising alternative for schizophrenic patients who struggle with adhering to oral medication.

This study found that vibration anesthesia significantly reduced pain during botulinum toxin injections for masseter reduction without affecting the injection's diffusion or causing adverse effects, and high patient satisfaction was also reported.

The authors concluded that finasteride treatment inhibits hippocampal neurogenesis in mice, potentially impacting emotional behaviors and contributing to the pathophysiology of affective disorders.

This randomized pilot study suggests that finasteride may benefit some men with category IIIA chronic pelvic pain syndrome, although it is not recommended as monotherapy unless benign prostatic hyperplasia is also present.

In this study with diabetic rats, the researchers found that combining Amoxicillin/Clavulanate with metformin may enhance the glucose-lowering effects of metformin, without affecting cholesterol, triglycerides, or certain electrolytes.

This study in neonatal rats found that inhibiting neurosteroid synthesis with finasteride unexpectedly reduced the severity and duration of neonatal seizures following birth asphyxia, maintained cognitive functions, but increased anxiety-like behaviors, highlighting a complex role of neurosteroids in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy outcomes.

In this study using zebrafish, four bisbenzylisoquinoline derivatives were found to protect hair cells from aminoglycoside-induced damage without reducing antibiotic efficacy, potentially leading to therapies for patients undergoing such treatments.

Mesotherapy with bicalutamide has limited effectiveness for female hair loss.

This study observed that while betaine supplementation decreases total homocysteine and increases methionine levels in a mouse model of CBS deficiency, it is not as effective as methionine restriction in reversing associated phenotypes.

In this laboratory study, the methanolic extract of Eclipta alba demonstrated significant anthelmintic activity against earthworms (Pheretima posthuma), causing paralysis and death at doses of 50-100 mg/ml, with stronger effects observed at higher concentrations compared to the standard treatment, albendazole.

This study found that melatonin-loaded nanoparticles improved antidepressant effects and HPA axis regulation in pinealectomized rats, compared to free melatonin, through controlled-release properties.

The effectiveness of finasteride for preventing chronic bacterial prostatitis is unclear.

This study reports that patients with Alzheimer's disease have increased levels of polyamines in their hair.

This paper discusses a structure-based analysis to find new BRD4 inhibitors, identifying finasteride and amentoflavone as promising candidates for BET inhibition.

The authors report a dementia patient who developed severe trichotillomania unresponsive to SSRIs, which improved with quetiapine; they suggest dopamine blockade may manage such symptoms in dementia.

This study reports that finasteride chewable tablets may be effective in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia due to their stable formulation and ease of production.

This study found that the water extract of Bituminaria bituminosa demonstrated the highest antioxidant activity and α-glucosidase inhibition among tested extracts, but no cholinesterase or tyrosinase inhibition.

This review discusses the non-cosmetic uses of botulinum neurotoxin A, including its effectiveness for idiopathic hyperhidrosis and potential use for androgenic alopecia, and reports no new clinical results; the authors highlight the need for more clinical trials.

This study found that the meropenem-loaded spanlastic formulation showed strong potential as an effective topical therapy for bacterial skin infections in non-diabetic mice, demonstrating superior therapeutic activity and wound healing compared to free meropenem.

Combining α-blockers and Finasteride is useful for treating small prostate enlargement.

This study found that long-term administration of tamsulosin hydrochloride 0.2 mg is effective, safe, and well-tolerated for improving symptoms and quality of life in patients with LUTS of BPH.

This study identified novel compounds from Bombax ceiba stem bark, including shamimicin, with potent hypotensive effects, and reported that a specific fraction had adverse effects on heart, liver, and kidneys in mice.
