Answer: Side effects of Finasteride If you are worried about accelerated skin aging and loss of bone density, finasteride is not going to be your main concern - getting out of the sun and increasing weight bearing exercise are!Finasteride has been accused of many things, but this is the first time I've heard it accused of premature aging or loss of bone density. I could not find any good evidence for these side effects in the medical literature (search pubmed.gov). I have heard of some changes (i.e. different texture) to body hair, but since this can also occur naturally as a person ages, it is difficult to connect this to finasteride directly as the culprit.Hope that helps!-DrSara
