What Causes Joint Pain And Muscle Weakness After Taking Finasteride?
Hello, I have been taking Finasteride for a month for Female pattern hair loss, prescribed by a hair replacement doctor after having PRP injections into my scalp (third time for PRP). I am having joint discomfort, muscle weakness and twitching of my right eyelid. I had hysterectomy 2 years ago and am using .05 estrogen patches as well. Could the joint aching and muscle weakness be caused by the finasteride?

Hello,
It is not related to finasteride. If symptoms persist it is better to consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
