March 2023 in “Revista Chilena de Urología” This review discusses post-finasteride syndrome, highlighting occasional adverse sexual and systemic effects in men and women, but reports no new research findings while emphasizing the need for better education about the drug's risks.
This research focused on formulating finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil with cyclodextrins to enhance their solubility and skin penetration for topical use, potentially reducing scalp irritation from current alcohol-based preparations.
This review suggests that finasteride at 1 mg/day reduces PSA levels similarly to 5 mg/day, but differences in prostate dihydrotestosterone levels may affect prostate cancer diagnosis and prevention.
