    Default 18 y/o - RU58841 or Finasteride?

    Hi,
    I turn 19 later this year and have been using minoxidil for 1 year now. I really need an antiandrogen though, as I want to maintain the amount of hair that I have right now. In general I have been an "early bloomer", with a little bit of chest hair right now and a full beard.

    I was wondering on your opinions of whether I should use finasteride or RU58841? The way I see it:

    Fin:
    Pros
    - FDA approved
    - Just a pill
    - Studies show that it can maintain for a LONG time

    Cons
    - Side effects! Especially considering my young age?

    RU:
    Pros
    - Considered "safe", with few(er) sides, especially since it's topical

    Cons:
    - Slightly more time consuming to apply
    - No studies, neither on safety or long term maintenance

    Any help is appreciated!
