> I take dutasteride (even stronger form of finasteride) and have been personally fortunate to not have any side effects in ~8 years.

Dutasteride is not a stronger version of finasteride. It's a more effective DHT blocker, but it works differently.

The side effects are also different and not easy to predict. Some people have terrible side effects from finasteride and none from dutasteride. Some people have the opposite. And some people can tolerate either one. We don't have a way at the moment to reliably predict which one will work better or be better tolerated for a given individual.

Anyway, I'm glad it has worked for you, and I also would not want to prosecute people who've created a medication that's one of the most effective and well-tolerated around.
