  1. I don't see how Merck could have dropped dutasteride since they don't even make the drug ? The percentage of people who get permanent side effects from Finasteride is over 1% if I had known that I would never have taking it. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/mens-health/hair-loss-drug-propecia-carries-risk-losing-something-else-n731841
  2. PFS is very real there is no point of me trying to engage with people who want to deny reality. Reuters even reported that Merck covered up Proepcia's side effects. They would not have needed to do that if Propecia was really that "safe". https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-courts-secrecy-propecia/
  3. Anyone considering going on Finasteride should read this page before they take it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-finasteride_syndrome

  6. Please sign this petition to get Merck to release all the files they have on Propecia's side effects. https://www.change.org/p/judge-brian-cogan-revealance-of-sealed-evidence-merck-s-finasteride-lawsuit?recruiter=1004093730&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink&utm_campaign=share_petition
  7. For anyone who wants to hear it Kelly Pfaff tells the full story in this podcast as to why her husband took his own life. https://www.blogtalkradio.com/pfsglobal/2014/01/29/e7-kelly-pfaffs-story
  8. Other than drugs like Finasteride I don't know of any other cases were someones sex drive is turned down to Zero for no apparent reason. In my case when I was in my 20s I lost my sex drive over night when I came off Finasteride and "crashed". It was like a switch had been turned off and I was never the same since.
  9. Reuters video report on Propecia Side Effects. https://vm.reuters.tv/e09cc/337213_LONG_PROPECIA(337220_R21MP41500).mp4
  10. Rogers’s assessment echoed Merck’s position. “Premature hair loss itself, the very condition for which Propecia is prescribed, is associated with low self-esteem, poor body image, and depression,” Merck’s lawyers wrote in a 2017 court filing. “Rather than attribute their sexual difficulties to the common reasons why young men with premature hair loss experience these problems, Plaintiffs instead assign blame to a drug that, once discontinued, is no longer pharmacologically active in the body.” Sales of Propecia climbed steadily through the 2000s, peaking at $447 million in 2010. Soon after, Merck’s patent expired, but use of finasteride remained strong as cheaper generic versions hit the market. By then, hundreds of men were suing Merck over Propecia. In 2012, their lawsuits were consolidated before Judge Cogan. As part of the discovery process, the early phase of litigation when opposing sides request information from each other, the court issued a routine protective order, allowing each side to designate discovery material as confidential before sharing it. The plaintiffs then filed a small handful of those documents in court under seal, citing the protective order as justification for the secrecy. Once evidence hits the courthouse, however, appellate courts have ruled that judges are required to conduct their own analysis of whether the secrecy outweighs the public interest in transparency. Cogan never did so. reuters investigates https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-courts-secrecy-propecia/
  11. I'm off Finasteride 7 years and have still not fully recovered from the side effects.

  14. You can read about the side effects here. http://medsafe.govt.nz/profs/PUArticles/March2016/PostFinasterideSyndrome.htm
  15. It obviously doesn't affect everyone but it is a one of the many risks you take if you use Finasteride.

  17. European Medicines Agency recommends adding "anxiety" to the warning label of Finasteride. http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Periodic_safety_update_single_assessment/2018/06/WC500250190.pdf

  19. It's not conspiratorial most GPs in Europe refuse to prescribe Propecia/Finasteride for hair loss.
  20. You will find that the only Doctors who say Propecia is "safe" have a vested interest in prescribing the drug.
