I don’t think the findings are news to any of us.

Yes, even so, the instructions still say “slight adverse reactions”. Most drug side effects are treated or eliminated by means, so it doesn’t matter even if there is a risk, but the emergence of finasteride really exceeds everyone’s cognitive limit of drug side effects.

Nice find, although not a surprise by any means.

Thanks for posting.

It may be worth sharing with any open minded urologists we see, but I have yet to find even one who takes PFS seriously.
