The safety of finasteride used in benign prostatic hypertrophy: a non‐interventional observational cohort study in 14 772 patients

Abstract

Impotence or ejaculatory failure, decreased libido and gynaecomastia in a small proportion of patients were associated with the use of finasteride. The results of this study strongly suggest that this drug is acceptably safe when used in accordance with the current prescribing information.
