Post-finasteride Syndrome: A Review of Current Literature
Than et al., 2018
Than et al. reviewed existing literature, including the symptom profile comprising physical changes, sexual dysfunction, and neurological and psychiatric changes as a lasting result of finasteride use.
They conclude that the existing evidence well supports the existence of persistent sexual, physical, neurological and central effects following 5alpha reductase inhibitor exposure, and that a growing understanding of the constellation of symptoms describing PFS should allow prescribers to better evaluate the risk and benefit of prescription.
