Reader Mail: Sexual Side Effects & Propecia
Jan 19, 2012
Like many others, this gentleman claims that Propecia gave him, "severe sexual dysfunction and cognitive impairment."
There's no time like the present to ditch Propecia, score some labs, and adopt a diet that promotes hair growth.
Here are some snippets from the original article located here:
A man who took the male pattern baldness drug Propecia for four years claims it gave him "severe sexual dysfunction and cognitive impairment."
Jason McCord sued Merck & Co. in Federal Court.
Merck has been sued at least 15 times in the past two years for similar claims, according to the Courthouse News database.
McCord says he was 36 when he was prescribed Propecia, in 2006, and he took it for four years. He says the trade-off wasn't worth it.
"The rates of the sexual dysfunction as a result of finasteride are reported to be as high as 39 percent in published clinical studies. In addition, it has been reported in 2003 that only 50 percent of patients experience resolution of their sexual function adverse events after discontinuation of finasteride."
Before he took the drug, McCord says, he "did not suffer from sexual dysfunctions or cognitive impairment. However, while consuming Propecia, plaintiff began to suffer severe sexual dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Plaintiff's adverse effects continued after Plaintiff discontinued using Propecia.
McCord says he has "suffered significant pain and suffering, and his quality of life has severely diminished."
