POV problems

This article focuses quite a bit on the potential dangers of blocking androgen receptors. But I think most of the discussion is misplaced - for example, it is not highly relevant to detail the dangers of this class of drug to a developing fetus when the use of the drug is contraindicated in women and children. Some context for the contraindications is necessary, but the discussion is excessive in my opinion. -- Ed (Edgar181) 22:45, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the physiology section was a bit excessive. I have condensed the section to focus on the target population which hopefully removes the POV problems. Cheers. Boghog2 (talk) 02:47, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ref

What ref supports this "and in the treatment of other androgen-dependent conditions"? The prior refs did not support it except for maybe priapism. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 09:21, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
