Senior Member gazzasgoin2 Posted November 3, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 3, 2007 Hi Andy, this can be a side effect of propecia in certain individuals. The manufacturers Merck note it happens in 2% of cases but I think there is a higher occurence from what I read. The good news is that any sides will be reversed when you stop the medication. I suffered the same prob before dropping down to 1/2 propecia pill per day and that seems to have done the trick.

Bill - Seemiller Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 andy25irish, Difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection is a more rare but possible side effect with Propecia. According to Propecia's website, many who have reported side effects with continued use of the hair loss medication report that the side effects have gone away. Learn more about the potential Propecia Side Effects. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member hairbank Posted November 8, 2007 Senior Member Share Posted November 8, 2007 You may want to consult with your Doc about going to an every other Day regimen. This is what Dr. Wong recommended for me when I started taking Fin in Feb 2006. I actually quarter proscar so I'm taking around 1.25mg every other day. I have received benefit evidenced by mild regrowth in the hairline so it is likely helping in other areas. I've never had any issues with ED whatsoever. When I first started taking it, I wondered whether or not I had experienced a decrease in sex drive but believe it was more mental and self-induced as I haven't had any problems in that department ! The every other day regiment for Fin is based on the idea that Fin actively fights DHT in your body for a period of 72 hours, so, the daily required doseage isn't necessary.

Regular Member hairdude83 Posted November 19, 2007 Regular Member Share Posted November 19, 2007 Taking natural Saw Pamelleto also reduces DHT level maybe, so this will cause side effects also like propecia than?
