Post Finasteride syndrome story (Reddit)
I tell eveyone of my patients about PFS as a remote risk that they take if they go on finasteride. I am also quick to address the earliest symptom of ED so I have never seen this in the 20,000 or so prescriptions I have written despite the fact that I have seen ED in about 2-4% of my patients. Doctors who believe that this is a real syndrome tell me that they don’t see it because they tell their patients to stop the medication with the appearance of ED.
Two years ago, you were basically writing off claims of post Finasteride syndrome as greedy people looking to cash in on a legal payout. What has changed since then? Why are you acting like you’ve always given informed consent when PFS was known about for a very long time and in 2017 you were downplaying it?
