Trump’s latest medical report doesn’t list drug he’s taken for years, raising questions

Experts said the omission of finasteride, a hair-loss drug linked to PSA changes, leaves questions about what the president’s report disclosed.

  • On Friday, May 29, 2026, the White House released a three-page health report on President Donald Trump declaring him in "excellent health" while omitting finasteride, a hair-loss medication he used during his first term.
  • Former physicians Dr. Harold Bornstein and Congressman Ronny Jackson confirmed Trump took the 1-milligram drug daily during his first administration, but the medication has disappeared from his medical records since his return to office in January 2025.
  • CNN medical analyst Dr. Jonathan Reiner noted Trump's prostate-specific antigen levels rose tenfold from 0.1 to 1.0, asking, "Did he stop taking the drug, or is he still taking it and now there's something going on with his prostate?"
  • Columbia University bioethicist Robert Klitzman stated the lack of transparency "raises significant questions of what else is possibly not being revealed," noting finasteride is also linked to an increased risk of depression.
  • Scrutiny continues regarding the 80-year-old president's health, including visible bruising and fatigue, as the White House maintains the report reflects all clinically relevant information and is not obligated to reveal every medication.
