Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

it can happen, if you are worried do not take the medication or consider treatment if it does occur.  Best, Dr. Emer.

David Perez-Meza, MD, FISHRS · Answer

I recommend .25 mgs of Finasteride to many of my patients and I haven't seen Ginecomastia as side effect. So, no worries and see your doctor periodically (every 6-12 months) for follow-up.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

Gynecomastia occurs in 4 to 10 out of every 1000 men using finasteride. It is dose dependent so risk may be less with 0.25 mg compared with higher doses. Please see your doctor if concerned.
