If you are preparing to become pregnant, taking hair loss pills will change your attention completely depending on who is taking it and what ingredients it is. Some hair loss medicine ingredients can have a fatal effect on the fetus, so be sure to check the contents below.

1. When taken or exposed by women: "absolute taboo"
If a woman is pregnant or planning to become pregnant, it is safe not to even brush aside certain hair loss pills.

Pinasteride (Profecia, etc.) / Dutasteride (Adodate, etc.)

Dangers: These ingredients have mechanisms that inhibit male hormones (DHT). When a pregnant woman is exposed to this drug, it can cause genital malformations of male fetuses (female exogenous genital organs, etc.), which is very dangerous.

Skin Absorption Caution: Since these medicines are also absorbed into the skin, touching powdered or broken pills is prohibited.

Duration of medication: If a woman was on this medication for any reason, she should consider the length of time she was completely out of the body. Dutasteride, in particular, has a long half-life, so you should stop taking it at least six months before pregnancy. (Finasteride is at least 1 month)

Minoxidil (applied medicine/medicine)

In the case of minoxidil, the rate of systemic absorption is low, but fetal safety has not been fully established, so it is a principle to stop using it from the beginning of pregnancy preparation.

2. If taken by male (husband): "selective medication and caution"
That's the part with the most questions. In conclusion, the probability of causing fetal abnormalities is extremely low medically, but sweet medicine is often recommended for sperm health and psychological stability.

What's the probability of fetal deformity?

When a man takes finasteride or dutasteride, the amount of drug delivered to a woman through semen is minimal. According to the standards of domestic and foreign health authorities such as the U.S. FDA, it is virtually unlikely that this amount will cause deformities in the fetus. Even if you have a child while taking medicine, you don't need to consider an abortion at all.

Still, the reason for considering a sweet pill

Deterioration of sperm function: Hair loss drugs may cause decreased sperm count, decreased motility, decreased semen volume, etc. in some men. If you have a infertility factor or are preparing for a planned pregnancy, it is advantageous to give up medicine for the best condition of your sperm.

Psychological relief: To prevent possible anxiety or guilt, many urologists and gynecologists recommend taking the medicine.

the recommended duration of a man's medication

It takes about three months (about 100 days) for a new sperm to mature.

Pinasteride: 1 to 3 months prior to pregnancy attempt recommended to stop

Dutasteride: At least 6 months before pregnancy attempt is recommended as medication remains in the body for a long time

**to sum up
It should never be taken by women and should also avoid touching them. Rather than worrying about fetal abnormalities, it is recommended that men quit taking it several months in advance to "increase the probability of pregnancy (quality of sperm) and ease the couple's mind."

For the most accurate prescription, it is recommended to check the exact product name of the hair loss medicine you are taking and consult with the hospital or obstetrician you were prescribed.
