Is
there a problem if my wife gets pregnant while I'm
taking finasteride?
A:
No. Originally Merck decided to err on the side of
caution and warned against the possible problem of
finasteride transfer in semen. This warning has since
been removed. At issue is the theoretical danger that
there could be genital birth defects in the male fetus.
However, women who are or could get pregnant should
avoid finasteride ingestion and the handling of broken
finasteride tablets.
