Can Stopping Proscar Bring on Side Effects?
I have been taking proscar for hair loss for about 12 years and recently read a disturbing article in Mens Health regarding side effects. Has new long term evidence emerged that shows greater risks? Can stopping the use of Proscar actually bring on side effects?
We are being overwhelmed with negative information that is out of proportion to the reality of the actual numbers of side effect and the statistics that go with that information. Are you willing to take the chance on reversing the hair benefits that stopping the medication will bring about? Any benefits, even reduced prostate problems, will reverse if you stop the medication.
Dr. Rassman, I am afraid you didn’t clearly read the poster’s question. He asked whether stopping the drug could bring about side effects rather than whether or not it would be worth it to quit the drug to avoid side effects.
