    5 alpha reductase for women

    hi, I read on the internet that every 5a reductase is very dangerous for women who intend to have children one day.
    they say, a male child could be born with a vagina instead of a dick...
    Is that true?? Its my Gf, she wants to take it against hair loss, and she's not taking any AAS
    she would start with saw palmetto and see if there are some results

    Although Propecia is not for use by women, this medication can cause birth defects if a woman is exposed to it during pregnancy. Propecia tablets should not be handled by a woman who is or who may become pregnant. Propecia tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed. If a woman accidentally comes into contact with this medication from a broken or crushed tablet, wash the area with soap and water right away.

    I think a boy born with a vagina is called a girl...

    Finasteride and dutasteride are both FDA pregnancy category X, which means that they cause fetal abnormalities and should not be taken when pregnant. There are no guarantees about exactly what might happen to any given fetus which is exposed, but the probability of having an intersex child would go up.

    By the way, her hair loss could be caused by many different things. If it's not caused by too much androgen in her system, it is not going to help anyway, and there are a lot of side effects, even if she doesn't get pregnant.
