Quick Tips
- Women who are or may become pregnant must not handle broken or crushed tablets. Finasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may affect male fetal development. Whole tablets are coated and safe to handle.
- Finasteride lowers PSA levels. Tell any doctor arranging a prostate check that you take it, as the result needs interpreting differently and a normal-looking value can be falsely reassuring.
- Allow three to six months before judging any effect, and understand that the benefit lasts only while you continue taking it.
- Tell your doctor about reduced sex drive, difficulty with erections or problems with ejaculation. These are recognised effects and reasons to review treatment rather than simply stop.
- Report any breast lump, tenderness, enlargement or nipple discharge promptly.
- Report persistent low mood or depressive thoughts to your doctor, as mood changes have been reported with finasteride.
- Do not donate blood while taking it or for a period after stopping, so that blood from a treated person does not reach a pregnant recipient.
