Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar los efectos adversos de los 5-ARI en la salud sexual y la fertilidad (disfunción eréctil y disminución de la libido); neurología y psiquiatría (síntomas depresivos, autolesiones e ideación suicida); endocrinas, metabólicas y cardiovasculares (aumento de la grasa corporal, LDL y colesterol total). Revisión bibliográfica: Esta revisión narrativa informa los hallazgos de varios artículos científicos publicados en línea, con respecto a los efectos adversos de los 5-ARI, a menudo utilizados para tratar la calvicie de patrón masculino y la hiperplasia prostática benigna em hombres adultos. Consideraciones finales: Se identificaron efectos adversos en varios estudios realizados en diferentes poblaciones. Por lo tanto, es sumamente importante aumentar la conciencia pública sobre las implicaciones asociadas con el tratamiento de 5-ARI. La prescripción de la terapia con 5-ARI debe evaluarse cuidadosamente para cada individuo debido a los posibles efectos adversos que pueden ocurrir al inicio y comprometer severamente la calidad de vida en hombres adultos.
