Worried about Propecia Side Effects?

To date, Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are the only two FDA approved and most effective non-surgical hair loss treatments on the market. It’s advised for men in particular to consider Propecia in order to attempt to control future baldness.

Propecia (finasteride) works by inhibiting the production of a large percentage of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for male pattern baldness. DHT is also responsible for certain sexual functions and has been said to mitigate the effects of estrogen in men. Thus, one of the biggest concerns all men considering Propecia for hair loss have is the potential for sexual side effects.

Recently, the possibility of sexual side effects while taking Propecia was extensively discussed on our forum. To learn more about the risks and join in the discussion, visit “Possible Propecia User – Worried about Side Effects“.
