Percentage of Patients on Propecia that See Increased Libido?
In past posts you have said that Propecia has increased sex drive in 10% of your patients (Propecia and sex drive -September 27 2005). On March 4 2010 Why do some men have increased libido on Propecia, You said a increase is less common than decrease in libido. Could you explain which one is correct?
Thanks Doc and love your dedication to us losing are hair and educating us about are concerns.
Very few patients have reported an increased sex drive on Propecia. I am fairly sure that the post in question (where I wrote about 10% of patients seeing an increased libido) is just a typo that went uncaught for half a decade. I posted it in 2005, but never saw the mistake until now.
My apologies for the confusion and I’ve since updated that post to show the number at 1%. Even that 1% number is just a rough estimate, but increased libido is certainly not as common as 10%. Oops.
