Mark Millich, 26 years old and insecure about his thinning hair, was curious about the ads he saw promising to reverse his hair loss. He completed a 14-question intake on Hims.com and received a bottle of finasteride pills days later. He never spoke to a doctor.

Soon after taking the medicine, Millich said he felt strange symptoms. He woke up one day anxious, dizzy and slurring his words. Later his libido plunged, and his genitals shrank and changed shape.

The Wall Street Journal spoke with 17 men, like Millich, who described debilitating side effects from finasteride after getting prescriptions from telehealth companies such as Hims and rival Keeps. Most said they didn’t realize there were risks of serious side effects from the hair-loss drug; others said they didn’t feel the warnings were adequate.

I have tried hims. The dosage for most types of medication depend on your body weight, but they never ask your body weight in their questionnaire.

Yet Hims has 2 million customers and finasteride is one of the few clinically effective drugs in the fight against pattern hair loss.

Millich, a former U.S. Army sergeant, hadn’t suspected his Hims finasteride prescription was at fault, since the first symptoms were cognitive, including insomnia and depression.

And one of America's most reputable news outlets doesn't even challenge this or provide a balanced narrative.
There are so many reasons why he could have any of these symptoms.
Could easily be problems with his personal life.
Correlation doesn't equal causation.
