research Differences in reproductive toxicology between alopecia drugs: an analysis on adverse events among female and male cases
Finasteride has a higher risk of reproductive side effects than minoxidil.
research Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Insufficient androgen action in male fetuses can cause genital development issues due to genetic mutations or environmental chemicals.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone*
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Finasteride in the treatment of men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride safely and effectively treats male pattern hair loss, but may cause reversible sexual issues and harm male fetuses.
research Critical Developmental Periods for Effects on Male Rat Genitalia Induced by Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride affects male rat genitalia development, causing abnormalities during specific pregnancy days.
research Reversible decreases of fertility in male Sprague-Dawley rats treated orally with finasteride, a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Finasteride temporarily lowers male rat fertility without affecting libido.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research What is the evidence for finasteride causing harmful effects during pregnancy, and should a couple be concerned if the male partner is taking it?
Finasteride is risky during pregnancy, but the chance of harm from a male partner taking it is low if handled safely.
research What is the evidence for finasteride causing harmful effects during pregnancy, and should a couple be concerned if the male partner is taking it?
Pregnant women should avoid handling crushed finasteride tablets, but exposure through a male partner's semen is minimal.
research Finasteride increases anagen hair in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride helps increase hair growth in men with hair loss.
research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Effects of finasteride, a type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, on fetal development in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
Finasteride, when given in high oral doses to pregnant monkeys, caused genital abnormalities in male fetuses, but not in female fetuses or those exposed to intravenous finasteride.
research Pregnancy and neonatal outcome with maternal exposure to finasteride: Case series
Exposure to the hair loss drug finasteride during pregnancy can cause genital anomalies in male babies, but not in female babies. It's best to avoid this drug in women who could potentially become pregnant.
research Contraindicated use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors in women
The document concludes that women should not use 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors due to the risk of birth defects and limited effectiveness.
research Case report: A pregnant woman accidental treated with spironolactone in mid-gestation
The woman delivered a healthy baby boy despite taking spironolactone during pregnancy.
research Sex-dependent effect of a low neurosteroid environment and intrauterine growth restriction on fetal guinea pig brain development.
Reduced neurosteroids and growth issues can harm fetal brain development, especially in males.
research Finasteride as a therapy for hidradenitis suppurativa
Finasteride improves hidradenitis suppurativa but not for child-bearing women.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.
research Aphalangia possibly linked to unintended use of finasteride during early pregnancy
Finasteride use during early pregnancy may cause limb deformities in babies.
research Placental mRNA Expression of Neurokinin B Is Increased in PCOS Pregnancies with Female Offspring
Pregnant women with PCOS have higher levels of Neurokinin B in the placenta, especially with female babies.
research Placental mRNA expression of Neurokinin B is increased in PCOS pregnancies with female offspring.
Neurokinin B levels are higher in the placentas of women with PCOS who have female babies.
research Fetal alpha 5-reductase Val89Leu mutation is associated with late miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*
Finasteride may treat baldness but less effective for those with 5α-reductase deficiency.
research Mixed “Antiandrogenic” Chemicals at Low Individual Doses Produce Reproductive Tract Malformations in the Male Rat
Low doses of mixed chemicals cause permanent reproductive malformations in male rats.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Evaluation and treatment of male and female pattern hair loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of male-pattern and female-pattern hair loss, 2017 version
