Finasteride Watch

Finasteride has injured countless men while medicine remains in denial. Some posts explicit; it comes with the territory. NOT MEDICAL ADVICE

@ForkShultz @SamtheNightOwl @lllliatttt They were interviewed at appointments with the investigator during the trial. They were not prompted to describe particular types of adverse effects. Taboos, embarrassment, privacy concerns and medical setting may have prevented some reporting.

These ads are really wild from $HIMS etc… I get hit with finasteride & minoxidil ads almost every day now, no wonder men are so depressed nowadays. Both of those chemicals can cause depression and permanent ED, but they’re purposely targeting males in their 20s… pretty wild…

[Finasteride Watch @FinasterideInfo]

@teachwellall And there’s a lot of advertising for it on social media in the U.S.

Correction, the ROR for finasteride was 299. This was for a query including all terms shown in the figure (a standardized MedDRA query, or SMQ).

From interest in tweets like this, it’s clear there’s an appetite for serious science about drug-induced disorders. The research capacity is out there. Health & medical research is a >$200B enterprise in US alone. But resources are not being deployed to this category.
