Potential Elongated and Permanent Side Effects of Propecia?

Finasteride (the active ingredient found in Propecia) is a proven antiandrogen, blocking DHT and slowing down, stopping and even reversing hair loss in many men. Unfortunately, no effective drug is without the possibility of side effects.

While the known side effects have been reported and published on the Propecia website for years, recent findings suggest the very rare possibility of elongated side effects exist even after stopping treatment. This includes continued erectile dysfunction and even male breast cancer.  This is referred to as post-finasteride syndrome.

While the above sounds scary, many would argue that the chance of being struck by lightning is greater than the possibility of developing breast cancer by using Propecia. Additionally, continued erectile dysfunction after stopping Propecia were reported by consumers, which doesn’t constitute as clinical evidence.
