There is a huge thread on this on another forum:

It's pretty worrying to read but wuffer you make some very good points. I just wish these decisions were easier - for that to be the case, i wish it was more studied and better researched. Hair transplant surgeons and drug companies will obviously claim it's 100% safe but there are obviously potentially serious risks -what I want to know is how to minimise this risk (e.g is lower dose better) and how big are these risks (both short and long term). It's not good enough that the only real studies conducted are five years long. Why can't they just go back and check on those same guys every five years to check for long term symptoms. Would have also been good had they done other tests in the initial studies on things like hormone levels, muscle/bodyfat before and after etc
