- hairthrowaway 8y agoCan confirm, been on Finasteride since my early 20's, maybe 6-7 years. Now 30 and haven't lost any hair. You have to keep taking it but it works damn well at maintaining what you have
- pound 8y agoAlso as brand name Propecia. Many have reported that it causing sexual issues for them, for some they are permanent even after stopping taking it. At the very least, even without big issues - (not sure if it's within posting here guidelines, but still) "morning wood" would be gone.
