Trump Medical Reports Drop Finasteride Disclosure, Omitting Drug He Used for Years
3 articles · Updated · The Washington Post · Jun 4
Summary
Trump’s latest medical reports no longer list finasteride, a hair-loss drug that his doctors had previously said he routinely used before and during his first term.
White House officials said they are not required to disclose all of the president’s medications, leaving unclear whether Trump stopped taking finasteride or it was simply omitted from the records.
Finasteride, sold as Propecia, is a common treatment used by millions of American men to prevent male-pattern hair loss.
The omission highlights the limits of public visibility into a president’s health, even when earlier physicians had identified a long-term medication.
