😭 A medicine that pregnant women are prohibited from touching to avoid the risk of fetal deformities
⭐️5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, such as Finasteride and Dutasteride, are commonly used medications to treat cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia and hereditary hair loss. But what many do not know is the danger of this medicine for pregnant women, even just when they touch it!🤰
🔖 How does this medicine work?
The drug works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into its active form known as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This enzyme plays an important role in the development of the reproductive organs of the male fetus during pregnancy.
🔖 Why is it forbidden for a pregnant woman to touch the medicine?🤔
When this medication comes into contact with the skin, it is quickly absorbed, causing the active substance to move into the blood circulation. If this occurs during pregnancy, it may lead to serious effects on the development of the reproductive organs of the male fetus, causing serious congenital anomalies.
📌 Strict medical recommendations:
1️⃣. Pregnant women are strictly prohibited from taking or even touching this medicine.
2️⃣. The medicine should be stored in a safe place out of the reach of pregnant women or those planning to become pregnant.
3️⃣. If a pregnant woman accidentally comes into contact with the medication, the area should be washed immediately with soap and water and a doctor should be consulted.
