It is possible that reduced libido could occur in a week or so of daily Propecia use, but I wonder if you have anticipated it such that the psychological effects of expectations may make it happen. Rogaine is best used after a shampoo. The use of something like the Rogaine Foam will disappear quickly as […]

Every person has the ability to make the decisions that are best for them. I agree with you in that problems with erections and breast tissue may be caused by Propecia, and in your individual case, it sounds like that is what is happening … and that does not make you crazy. That being said, […]
If they are going to appear, sexual side effects from Propecia usually come in within the first month or so. They will go away after another month or so upon stopping the pill.
The power of suggestion and the placebo effect are well documented phenomenon. If you think it is going to happen or are worried it may happen, it just might. Propecia does have a side effect of decreasing libido by 1 to 2% and increasing libido by as high as 10%. If you need to focus […]
Arimidex is an anti-breast cancer drug. I do not prescribe Arimidex or know of any of my patients who are on Arimidex. You should consult with your doctor before considering any changes to your medication. Also note that Arimidex can cause it own set of side effects. It is not a ‘walk in the park’ […]
The half life of finasteride is about 4-5 hours. It means that after medication is absorbed and distributed throughout the body, it take about 4-5 hours for your body to get rid of half of it from the blood stream. At the molecular level, finasteride attaches to the enzymes 5 alpha reductase (Type I and […]
Most of the side effects of the medication Propecia (finasteride) are seen in the first few months immediately after starting it. As a matter of fact, most side effects improve with time. The most problematic side effect, which is decreased libido, is proven to get as low as in the placebo group if patients continue […]
The Internet is a wonderful source of information and resource. Unfortunately, there are many inaccuracies and misinformation that cannot be reliably checked or corrected. That is one of the many reasons why drugs such as Propecia (finasteride) are only available after you talk with a doctor and is only prescribed by doctors. While I realize […]
The sexual side effects associated with Propecia are generally temporary. Taking 1/2 the dose may also alleviate the side effect. Taking 1/2 dose is 70% as effective and it is certainly better than taking no finasteride. Before considering changing any drug regiment you need to discuss this with the doctor that prescribed you the medication. […]
The site you sent does not contain balanced informational. Side effects are rare and are listed in the material supplied on Merck’s Propecia website. You can follow those that run in panic mode, or are critical for unsubstantiated reasons, or are the exception to the rule. As the reference piece is extensive, please write to […]
If a man on Propeica is going to get a decreased sex drive (one in a hundred) they should see that side effect in the first couple of weeks. If you have had no sexual side effects, welcome to the majority of men who have taken the drug daily for years.
Propecia (finasteride) has side effects that I know of, as follows: Increased libido in some men (usually older), because testosterone levels go up by about 15%. Decreased libido in about 1-2% of men, Also, erectile dysfunction is included in this group. Decreased in prostate cancer. Many people, like me, feel that this may be the […]
You should consult with your doctor who prescribed you Propecia to address these issues. There are medications to counter abnormal breast enlargement, but I have not personally used them to treat my patients. Most men who have breast lumps from Propecia (about one in 500 users) stop taking the medication. The interesting part about your […]
If you have any side effects associated with finasteride (Propecia), you will likely have side effects with dutasteride (Avodart). Dutasteride has the same mechanism of action as finasteride, but it blocks 5 alpha reductase type 1 and type 2 isoenzyme. Finasteride only blocks the type 1 isoenzyme. Please note that blocking type 1 and type […]
It is almost always a good idea to try Propecia if you have genetic hair loss, especially at your age, BEFORE you go through a surgical hair transplant. You may decide that after 9 to 12 months, you are happy with the results and do not need surgery. I suspect that in the past three […]
