Answer: Finasteride side effects To my knowledge, finasteride (Proscar) is not likely to cause facial hair loss, increased rate of skin aging, or bone loss density. I would suggest consulting with your physician about your concerns. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Is finnasteride use for MPB likely to cause side effects as facial hair loss,increased rate of skin aging, loss of bone density? I don't believe that finasteride has been found to cause any of these conditions you mention nor do I think its logical that it would. Of course anything is possible in a system that is complex as human physiology. Discuss your terms with a reputable hair specialist until you feel comfortable with the decision you make. Also go to the ishrs website to find the latest news concerning Finasteride.

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
