According to a study conducted by George Washington University, at least 5 percent of men could experience irreversible sexual side effects after taking Propecia, Proscar, or generic finasteride. Although these side effects were listed warnings on the bottle, this same package labeling also leads the user to believe that side effects will diminish after discontinuing use. And, this is the basis for possible Propecia lawsuits for which we are currently investigating claims. Please note that even if you have taken Propecia and have not experienced these problems, we’d like to hear from you.
What is Propecia?
Propecia (generic name: finasteride) is prescribed in pill form and used to treat male pattern baldness on the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp. It is a drug to be used by men only.
Finasterides have also been used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. The common brand name for this drug is called Proscar.
