Ranitidine and finasteride inhibit the synthesis and release of trimethylamine N-oxide and mitigates its cardiovascular and renal damage through modulating gut microbiota

Pretty new study. Odd combination of drugs.
Main takeaway, Finasteride is capable of modulating microbiota outside of its known pharmaceutical effects.
In the case of this study its a positive result. Maybe there could be some variables where thats not always the case depending on the individual. Maybe there could also be two different patterns as to when your on the drug and then post withdrawal.
