From a CNN Health article I just read:
"And what are those beneficial things? Klein notes that in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial, the drug finasteride reduced a man’s chances of developing prostate cancer by 25 percent.
The drug tested in that trial is the same medication in the anti-baldness drug Propecia, but at a higher dose. Klein suggests that men concerned about their prostate cancer risk talk to their doctor about taking finasteride."
For some reason I find it funny that a drug designed to fight hair loss possibly fights prostate cancer. Then again, I’m in a strange mood.
