The Hidden Risks of Finasteride: Why Aren’t We Talking About Them Enough?
© 2024 · MEDI Hair Loss & Scalp clinic
Why aren’t the risks of post-finasteride syndrome clearly shared with the public? This is a pressing concern that continues to baffle us at Medi Hair Loss $ Scalp Clinic. As online prescription services for hair loss meds increase, so do risks for patients. Many don’t know about the full range of side effects, especially with finasteride.
Social media is full of ads praising finasteride as a fast solution for hair loss. But serious side effects, like post-finasteride syndrome (PFS), are often not reported. Many clinicians downplay PFS. This leaves patients uninformed about possible long-term effects. These include sexual, neurological, and psychological issues.
“Trichologists, the guardian of tresses, blend scientific insight with compassionate care, unraveling the mysteries of hair loss and fostering a journey back to the lush landscapes of self-assurance.”
A new CBC investigative report, released today, reinforces the concerns we raised in our January blog post titled “Is Finasteride the Right Hair Loss Treatment for You?”. In that blog post, we emphasized why individuals experiencing hair loss should fully understand the risks of finasteride before making a decision.
One alarming trend we’ve noticed is the increasing number of young men in their early 20s requesting finasteride, often unwilling to consider the risks or explore safer alternatives. While finasteride may work for some, informed consent is critical. Patients deserve transparency about all available treatment options—including alternatives that do not carry the same risks.
