Propecia Linked To Erectile Dysfunction

You may need to speak with a personal injury lawyer who can assist you in making important personal and legal decisions. If needed, an injury attorney can help you get the compensation you deserve by filing a claim on your behalf.
Propecia was approved by the FDA in 1997, and is manufactured by Merck & Company. Propecia is used to treat male pattern hair loss on the scalp. Propecia works by blocking androgen in the body. However, a recent study suggests that Propecia may cause permanent sexual side effects. The manufacturer of Propecia claimed that any sexual side effects would cease when a patient stopped taking the drug, but in recent years there have been men who have experienced long lasting and permanent sexual side effects even after they stopped taking Propecia. Side effects linked to Propecia include:
- ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION – Some patients using Propecia may experience long lasting or permanent erectile dysfunction.
- DECREASED LIBIDO- Propecia can cause a loss of sexual desire, which may not return after the patient stops taking Propecia.
A recent study concluded that about eight percent of men taking the drug reported erectile dysfunction, and roughly four percent experienced decreased libido. Of those percentages, some patients experienced erectile dysfunction and decreased libido even after they stopped taking Propecia. Men who have been prescribed Propecia may have been permanently injured by the drug.
PLEASE SPEAK WITH YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE DISCONTINUING USE OF PROPECIA OR ANY OTHER PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION.
