finesteride side effect

On July 12, 2012, Matt Lauer of NBC’s Today Show discussed the association between the hair loss drug Propecia and persistent and/or permanent sexual side effects.

According to the NBC Today Show report, researchers from George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences have found that Propecia may cause prolonged sexual side effects even after discontinuation of the drug. Lauer interviewed Dr. Nancy Snyderman regarding the research on Propecia’s persistent sexual side effects. Dr. Snyderman stated that these sexual side effects are not “new”, since Merck had warned about sexual side effects for some men who use the hair loss drug.
