Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Finasteride (1 mg/day) is widely utilized by dermatologists for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Although enjoying a relatively good safety profile, several sex-related adverse effects have been reported with this drug. Here we report two cases of gynecomastia, one of them bilateral, caused by Propecia((R)) prescribed for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia. Although relatively rare, physicians should be aware of this side effect and inform their patients when prescribing this medication. |
