Finasteride is metabolized in the liver and excreted through urine and feces. Users humorously discuss its excretion, with one joking about it being expelled through ejaculation.
Finasteride may cause elevated liver enzymes, potentially leading to liver issues, though this is rare. Users should monitor liver function and consider topical alternatives if liver sensitivity occurs.
The user reported significant improvement in hair thickness and color in the crown area after 3 months on Dutasteride 2.5 mg and oral Minoxidil 5 mg, with temporary side effects that resolved. They switched from Finasteride to Dutasteride due to lack of results with the former.
Minoxidil is highly toxic to pets, particularly cats and dogs, and there is a call for proper labeling to warn pet owners. Despite some skepticism about the effectiveness of petitions, many agree that awareness and caution are necessary to prevent accidental poisoning.
