PROPECIA  (FINASTERIDE):  Finasteride is used to shrink an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) in adult men. It may be used alone or taken in combination with other medications to reduce symptoms of BPH and may also reduce the need for surgery. Finasteride may improve symptoms of BPH and provide benefits such as decreased urge to urinate, better urine flow with less straining, less of a feeling that the bladder is not completely emptied, and decreased nighttime urination. This medication works by decreasing the amount of a natural body hormone (DHT) that causes growth of the prostate. Finasteride is not approved for prevention of prostate cancer. It may slightly increase the risk of developing a very serious form of prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks. Women and children should not use this medication.   FDA Approval Date: 1997-12-19 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 5  Hair loss None This stuff is incredible!! I was considering going to a specialist to sort things out but after seeing the amount they charge was a big rip off! So decided to go with propecia which is like a third of the price of the fancy treatments! And are seeing incredable results! M 26 2 months

 4  Thinning hair Depression, Anxiety, Occasional Brain Fog. Personality is noticeably different to others, but that may be due to stress. It has worked wonders for my diffuse hair loss- my thinning hair has noticeably filled in quite a bit, to the point where many people have pointed it out. It is not completely filled in (I doubt it ever will be without Minoxidil), but it has made a large cosmetic difference and I feel much more confident/attractive. The medication has also restored my hairline from a Norwood 2.5-3 to a Norwood 2. I suffer no sexual side effects. My penis size has remained the same and my libido may have even increased in the last few months. Testicles are the same size and I have no problem getting an erection when needed. Finasteride has changed my personality, however. I don't feel as excited or happy when good things happen- I guess I have become more "apathetic" to things. This may or may not a result of the drug. Additionally, I am more anxious and sometimes depressed than I was before, but that may be a result of stress from college/other things. The mental effects of Finasteride have easily been the worst part of taking this drug. My body hair is a somewhat more fine than it used to be. Facial hair remains the same though. Also, my fat deposits have changed places; when I am bulking or gaining fat, more appears on my "love handles" area than my abdomen where it used to. I'm not complaining about it, but it is something I have noticed. M 19 6 months

 1  HAIRLOSS IMPOTENCE, ASTHENIA, ALMOST ALZHEIMER... POISON. It must be banned any drug that inhibits DHT, it is a vital hormone for Brain, Sexual organs, Heart... DHT is the stronger brother of testosterone. If you are under 30 do not even think about it. You won´t grow as much as you can in height, mind and sexual issues; you will lose your best years of sexuality... And if you are over 30, try natural treatment or surgery. DERMATOLOGY IS NOT MEDICINE. M 22 20 months

 1  Male Pattern Baldness On the drug: Loss of libido, emotional bluntness, shrunken genitals, erectile dysfunction, loss of all morning/spontaneous erections, loss of orgasm intensity Post-drug (after I quit and it crashed my endocrine system: MEMORY LOSS, cognitive difficulties, emotional bluntness, anhedonia (loss of excitement in life), gynecomastia, Loss of libido, shrunken genitals, erectile dysfunction, loss of all morning/spontaneous erections, loss of orgasm intensity, insomnia and more! DO NOT EVEN TRY THIS DRUG: It is incredibly unbelievable that a drug exists and is legal that can crash one's endocrine system after ONLY 11 pills. I realize that my case is rare, but I am currently living a life more horrible than anything I could have ever imagined. Imagine, after trying a hair loss drug, being forced to live on this Earth WITHOUT being able to enjoy it. This drug, after it crashes your endocrine system, can leave you debilitated with unimaginable sexual, mental and physical symptoms. It can literally destroy your life. I was so ignorant to even try this drug, given how it rapidly deteriorated a body and mind I worked 22 years to develop in 11 days. By day 6 I started developing sexual side effects and was too ignorant stop it that I continued taking it for 5 more days as it completely cleaned out my system. After I was brought to my lowest point I had a brief recovery period for another 10 days where I felt great and returned to normal, only crashing down to get even WORSE symptoms that I am permanently left with in the form of an untreatable secondary hypogonadism. Yes, this drug, if it crashes your system, will make you IMMUNE to the vital male hormone DHT that is needed for normal functioning. Yes, I realize that my case of rapidly developing side effects is rare, but it CAN happen to you no matter how small the chance. I thought I was invincible but you CANNOT control what happens to your body! THESE EFFECTS ARE REAL. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. M 22 11 days

 1  Uro prescibed finasteride lower PSA No erections. Penis smaller. Hand tremors just started. Fincar from Cipla Pharma same as main ingredient hair loss preparations. Learned to stop taking day or two prior to sex. Helped some, but still unsatisfactory. Quitting drug. Higher PSA may be a problem, but is it worth tremors, shrinking penis and no sex? M 75

 5  Hair loss Started taking 1/4 of a tablet every other day after 2 months switched to 1/2 tablet everyday then full tablet daily. Been taking for 15 months great results and no side effects hair is clearly thicker in fact the results are quite incredible. I have gained my confidence back after loosing significant amounts of hair over an 18 month period. People now say what great hair I have for a 30 year old 😊 I mulled over taking propecia due to all the negative reviews but then I though how many people who have success can be bothered coming back and writing about their success story which is why have. I spent months trying to find good reviews only to find hundreds of bass ones. Taking Propecia was the best decision I ever made all my mates are bald and I have a full head of hair M 29 1 years

 1  Stop hairloss Constant but minor testicular pain, penis is limp, has shrunk, softer erections and takes longer to be aroused. Only 3 weeks into taking this and already I am terrified. Losing your sex life at 21 is no life worth living. Going to talk to doctor for ANY other alternative to prevent hair loss and committ. This site is full of men who are saying this drug ruined their lives. I am going to back out now before it happens to me. M 21 3 weeks
