Yobol, agree with removal of the 2 primary sources. Appreciate justification as to why Persistent Sexual and Nonsexual Adverse Effects of Finasteride in Younger Men (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/smrj.19/abstract) is not compliant with medrs. 92.41.154.151 (talk) 19:24, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor

Cyberbot II has detected links on 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which have been added to the blacklist, either globally or locally. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed or are highly inappropriate for Wikipedia. The addition will be logged at one of these locations: local or global If you believe the specific link should be exempt from the blacklist, you may request that it is white-listed. Alternatively, you may request that the link is removed from or altered on the blacklist locally or globally. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. Please do not remove the tag until the issue is resolved. You may set the invisible parameter to "true" whilst requests to white-list are being processed. Should you require any help with this process, please ask at the help desk.

Changes made in October 2017:

We are students studying Drug discovery and development in a course that is a part of a Master’s program in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of Iceland. Editing or conducting a Wikipedia page regarding Drug discovery and development is one of the assignments in this course. In this assignment we decided to make some changes to this Wikipedia site. We added a chapter that is about drug discovery and design which is divided into two groups of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, steroidal and non-steroidal, along with its SAR. We took out the Pharmacology chapter and replaced it with Mechanism of action. Medicine in use we put under drug discovery and design. Minor changes were made in the Side effects chapter, which we renamed Adverse effects. Also we made a chapter called Natural products for the Saw palmetto extract. We would have liked to write a chapter on Pharmacokinetics, since all such information is missing, but didn’t have time to do so. Wikihopur2 (talk) 09:59, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
