> Among men 16–42 years old and exposed to finasteride ≤1.25 mg/day, 34 of 4,284 (0.8%) developed PED (persistence median 1,534 days, IQR 651–2,351 days); the multivariable model predicting PED had one variable: duration of 5α-RI exposure
So less than 1% of finasteride users get PED. PED was already a known side effect. That's good it's being confirmed with data, but aren't the odds still very low that this would happen to fin users? As a fin user myself, I haven't experienced any of the sexual sides so I'm wondering if there's any new take-away from this.
When I look at this as a fin user, I'm personally happy to see that the data says its so unlikely.
