Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT and is prescribed for male pattern hair loss. It is the medical core of "keep the line you have." Side effects are real enough to be in the label and argued endlessly on forums. This wiki does not run a risk calculator. See a doctor.
Forum panic ("it ruined me") and forum denial ("sides are fake") are both claims. The drug is neither a vitamin nor a curse. It is a prescription.
