In the section detailing “current medications,” Barbabella noted that Rosuvastatin and Ezetimibe are prescribed to manage cholesterol levels. Additionally, Trump continues to take aspirin as part of a regimen for cardiac prevention.
The absence of Propecia from the list has sparked speculation that the president might be concealing information.
“It raises significant questions of what else is possibly not being revealed,” commented Columbia University professor and psychiatrist Robert Klitzman in an interview with the Post.
Klitzman also indicated that finasteride, an alternative name for Propecia, could increase the risk of depression, emphasizing the importance of the president being fully transparent about his medication.
Another medical authority expressed concern over the medication report.
“We are obviously overdue for the appointment of an independent medical expert assessment,” stated Arthur Caplan, founder of New York University’s medical school bioethics program, to the outlet.
On X, a user voiced their dissatisfaction, saying, “If the White House won’t be transparent about Propecia, will they be honest about bigger health matters?”
Another user commented, “It’s not just a hair loss drug. It’s a prostate drug. You’d need to know not just what he’s taking but what he’s taking it for.”
