Regular Member fineredhair Posted March 21, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2009 Ok yall i thought id throw this out there. I have been taking propecia for about 4 1/2 months now. At about the 1 month mark i began getting a dry throat at night. Unfortunately, this coincided with winter and the dry heat in my apartment. I got a humidifier but it did not seem to help much. Now at the 4 month mark it has gotten a bit worse and keeps lingering. I decided to go to the doctor and he gave me some post nasal drip stuff. This has helped a bit... I was wondering has anyone ever had a problem with runny nose/dry throat due to proscar? Also, i think ive gained some weight in the abdomen, feeling a little bloated...(however i also quit smoking a couple months back). Its so hard to put a finger on things when i have had so many lifestyle changes not to mention a hair transplant in february..... Your thoughts are much appreciated... Cheers!

Bill - Seemiller Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 finderedhair, I've never heard of this side effect due to taking finasteride. As you suggested, there may be something else going on causing this. You could always consider going off finasteride for 4 or 5 days to see if it helps. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
