Propecia Side Effects: Long-Term Erectile Dysfunction and Post-Finasteride Syndrome
Propecia is the brand name for finasteride, a medication prescribed to treat men with enlarged prostates. It is also approved to treat hair loss and male pattern baldness. (It has not been shown to be effective in treating hair loss in women or children.) Propecia works by blocking the body’s production of a hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth.
Scientists have been studying the side effects of finasteride for several years. One of the most common and persistent has been low libido and erectile dysfunction, even after men stop taking the medication. Many men suffer an ongoing range of side effects known as Post-Finasteride Syndrome. The Swedish Medical Products agency conducted a study that ended in December 2008. It found that men taking the drug could suffer from permanent erectile dysfunction.
GlaxoSmithKline and Merck both sell finasteride to treat several medical conditions, including hair loss. They report that a common side effect is adverse sexual events – up to 8 percent of users. Other studies have concluded that up to 38 percent of men may suffer from erectile dysfunction and impotence as a result of taking the drug.
Dozens of people have filed lawsuits after experiencing permanent erectile dysfunction from taking Propecia or finasteride, and several more studies have shown that Propecia sexual side effects occur at an alarming rate. As of February 2012, drug manufacturers still hadn’t added a warning on the product label regarding the potential for ongoing erectile dysfunction, even after patients stop taking the drug.
Men with concerns about taking finasteride should talk to their doctor. Do not stop taking any prescription medication without consulting a physician first.
