Finasteride is a controversial hair loss treatment, with some users experiencing positive results and others facing side effects like erectile dysfunction. The discussion emphasizes the importance of personal choice and informed decision-making.
A user reported significant hair regrowth using only 1mg finasteride daily over 3.5 years, with no side effects. They stressed patience and consistency, seeing noticeable results after two years.
