ManCanFly Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Hey, I was just wondering if finasteride or minoxidil is banned in military aviation? I am going to apply into Air Force.
stuckindayton Posted April 8, 2021 Posted April 8, 2021 Based on the 2019 aircrew medication list (the most recent I could find, there may be a newer one), minoxidil is not approved due to blood pressure lowering side effects. Finasteride (Propecia) is allowed with a DNiF period required only when first starting the medication to allow for side effects. So, if you're already taking finasteride you should be OK.
