Donald Trump's latest White House health summary has quietly dropped any mention of his long‑reported anti‑balding medication, finasteride, fuelling fresh questions in Washington over what the president is really taking and why the drug vanished from the public record this year.
Trump's use of finasteride a common hair-loss treatment sold as Propecia was first disclosed by his former personal physician nearly a decade ago and has since been treated as an open secret in US political reporting. The drug, widely prescribed to middle‑aged men, has a known profile of possible side effects including sexual dysfunction, depression and, in rarer cases, breast enlargement. It is not a trivial pill, which is precisely why its sudden disappearance from Trump's medical disclosures is now drawing scrutiny.
