POV problems

[edit]

This article focuses quite a bit on the potential dangers of blocking androgen receptors. But I think most of the discussion is misplaced - for example, it is not highly relevant to detail the dangers of this class of drug to a developing fetus when the use of the drug is contraindicated in women and children. Some context for the contraindications is necessary, but the discussion is excessive in my opinion. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:45, 26 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I agree that the physiology section was a bit excessive. I have condensed the section to focus on the target population which hopefully removes the POV problems. Cheers. Boghog2 (talk) 02:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Ref

[edit]

What ref supports this "and in the treatment of other androgen-dependent conditions"? The prior refs did not support it except for maybe priapism. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Also used for Benign prostatic enlargement

[edit]

Dear sir, the way this topic has been written it suggests to a layman that this drug is an anti cancer drug. Whereas you know it is a lot different from the routine anti cancer drugs which are anti metabolites or harm the cellular DNA through various mechanisms. It only modifies the action of androgens on cells. So People have used it to treat other conditions also like benign prostatic enlargement (where it can be used to shrink prostate size just like dutasteride) has not been discussed. Uses in female pattern alopecia has also not been discussed. Kindly add these topics also. Wikiary2022 (talk) 22:15, 25 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
