Could propecia (finasteride) potentially cause birth defects in my kids? i will have used it for ~10 years by the time i plan on having them
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: It's category x: study demonstrated positive evidence of fetal abnormalities. This drug should not be used in women who are or may become pregnant because the risk clearly outweighs any possible benefit.
