Every doctor will inform you that reported in clinical trials side effects of Propecia were rare and did not concern most men. Approximately 0.5% of men have experienced any of the following side effects related to the sexual sphere:

But all these side effects have completely disappeared in men who stopped taking Propecia. There is no single opinion about the involvement of Propecia to these side effects and for this there are two reasons:

Sometimes doctors warn that Propecia without prescription can affect the outcome of blood tests, exposing prostate cancer. This does not mean that the use of Propecia causes prostate cancer. It means only that at the result of this analysis, you can get a false diagnosis. If you are going to be tested, let your doctor know that you are taking Propecia.

Propecia side effects after long-term use have been discussed in the literature and include the possibility of male breast cancer. However, clinical studies on more than three thousand men in the course of 4-6 years didn’t find direct connection between the daily intake of finasteride 5mg and breast cancer. What about long-term intake of Propecia and prostate cancer, so recently it has been found a significant reduction in the risk of developing the disease in such cases. So now the men with a high risk of prostate cancer, for example, having a genetic predisposition, should buy Propecia and start treatment in preventive measure.

If we speak about women, who also suffer from alopecia, so here Propecia is not intended for them at all. Firstly, expressed positive effect from the use of Propecia at women was not observed. Second there is a high risk of Propecia side effects, like congenital malformations in the fetus, if finasteride is used during pregnancy.
