      community What has the evidence been on side effects with CB?

      in Research/Science  4 upvotes 5 years ago
      Clascoterone (CB) shows an excellent safety profile with no serious side effects, but its effectiveness may decline after six months, making it more suitable as an adjunct treatment with finasteride and minoxidil rather than a standalone solution. Some argue it could be better than finasteride due to its protection against testosterone, but its long-term efficacy remains debated.
