Can Propecia change your face shape? Jawline, some collegen, etc

In  my opinion, since you are experiencing very few side effects with finasteride, you should continue with this drug.. You are correct that the incidence of fatty liver and insulin resistance are associated with dutasteride.Lifestyle changes can improve the incidence. In clinical trials the di...
