Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT and is prescribed for male pattern hair loss.[1] 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.

Not a vitamin

Side effects are in the label and argued on forums. This wiki does not run a risk calculator.[1] See a doctor. See minoxidil and DHT.
