TL;DR: The concept of prohibition applied in active substance-related legislation is rather hazard ridden as balance is required between the ban on substances of potential therapeutic use and the access on the market of high-risk substances.

TL;DR: It is argued that finasteride should be preferred to dutasteride in the treatment of AGA because it preserves important physiological roles of dihydrotestosterone (unrelated to AGA) and, in addition, its adverse effects seem to be (at least in part) predictable.
Journal Article
Investigation of the toxicity of some organophosphorus pesticides in a repeated dose study in rats
TL;DR: The study indicates that repeated exposure, at subclinical doses, to organophosphorus MLT and DZN causes some biochemical, histopathological and immune alterations in rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI

Ion G. Motofei,David L. Rowland,Simona R. Georgescu,Mircea Tampa,Daniela Luiza Baconi,Emil Stefanescu,Bogdan C. Baleanu,Cristian Balalau,Vlad Denis Constantin,Stana Paunica +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that subjects having preference for a certain sexual orientation and/or predisposition for a given dominant hand could be advised before finasteride administration, that present an increased risk/sensitivity to develop adverse effects.
