Wouldn’t it be wonderful if side effects of included a feeling of well-being and euphoria? Alas, side effects include ( and are not limited to):
😔 risk of depression, anxiety, even after stopping
👎 decreased libido
😬Risk of gynecomastia in males
😲Small risk of high grade prostate cancer.
Important note- these side effects were also noted in the PLACEBO GROUP! ( for ex- decreased libido was reported in 2% of the finasteride group compared to 1% in the placebo group)
Impotence was also a side effect. Also note some of the data collected was for the higher dose used for benign prostatic hypertrophy not for hairloss.
Anytime we choose a course of treatment, doctors and patients must weigh risks and benefits. These must be discussed with the patient who has final say in what they decide to do.
We have yet to include in our counseling of patients, the risks and benefits of the foods that we choose to eat. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the risks, benefits, and side effects of foods on their packaging?
Just some .
I hope you all treat yourself a little better today! For more about health and beauty advice follow along!
