Gastrointestinal Problems from Propecia?

Doctor,

I have 2 side effects from propecia. Increased libido (not a problem) and unfortunately nausea and heartburn. I take it after dinner, but don’t have GI problems until middle of the night. Are GI problems common? I’m at the point I may have to discontinue it. Any suggestions?

BTW: You site is a terrific balance to all the misinformation out there.

Before associating your nausea and heartburn with Propecia, you should have your symptoms evaluated by your physician. You may have have other underlying conditions such as heart disease or reflux esophagitis. Sometimes heart disease can present with nausea and heartburn. Please go see your doctor.

And thanks for your kind words about the site!
