I am unable to access the study, only the abstract to see what the researchers reported the finasteride was being used for.
I rechecked the Medpage article and they did write: "Of 4,400 men seen at the clinic, 27 (0.6%) were taking finasteride 1 mg/d for alopecia areata."
Later in the article they did reference androgenetic alopecia so I wonder if Medpage used the wrong term in that sentence. Upon further searching the web, I am only able to find finasteride being used to treat alopecia areata experimentally. Thanks for pointing that out.
