Nathan's story: 2 half doses of finasteride

Nathan says it took only two half doses of finasteride. Within hours his health collapsed, and he was confined to bed.

If a very small amount of a medicine changed something for you, you may recognise his account.

In the interview he talks about the months since, and what they have done to his daily life.

Two half doses of finasteride

Nathan took two half doses of finasteride. He describes a crash within hours: a sudden and severe worsening of his health that left him bedridden.

Moral Medicine describes his experience as Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS).

What Nathan describes

• Neurological, physical and emotional symptoms.
• A hard year and four months, up to this interview, of trying to get his health back.
• The effect on his daily life and his relationships.
• Looking for medical help and, he says, being dismissed by doctors.
