A member asked:
We know 5ar type ii enzyme is found in spinal cord. can its suppression with propecia (finasteride) in the long term cause permanent cognitive & speech problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: I don't think anyone knows the answer to this question at this time. Although, Finasteride has been used as a treatment for prostate problems for many years and i don't think there is any report of people having cognitive or speech problems from using it. So it's unlikely that Propecia (finasteride) will cause any cognitive or speech problems if used long term.
