FDA Warnings against Propecia

On June of 2011, FDA did issue a warning against Propecia that linked it with higher risks of major prostate cancer. This warning was based upon studies of Proscar and Avodart. Containing 1/5th that active ingredient in the form of Proscar, Propecia was seen as a carrier of the prostate cancer risks by the FDA. Although high-grade prostate cancer tends to be rare, it is much more aggressive in its sufferers than the counterpart low-grade cancer of prostrates.
Later on, in July of 2011, FDA updated its precautions and warnings on the Proscar labels to show that there was a likelihood of patients experiencing fifty per cent less PSA serum concentration within the first 6 months of starting treatment. Additionally, men older than 55 face higher risk of the high-grade prostate cancer. Proscar is likely to reduce the serum in those patients with prostate cancer.

Side Effects of Propecia

According to studies published by the Journal of Sexual Medicine, men using Propecia could experience major side effects that include libido loss and erectile dysfunction. This study also examined medications used in the treatment of problems linked with enlargement of prostates that were used in hair loss treatment. Amongst such medications was Propecia. The researchers also proved that men taking drugs similar to Propecia for urinary tract infection and hair loss should be extremely cautious due to the side effects because of potential development of gynecomastia or breast tissue in males. This review study, which was conducted by the Boston University School of Medicine, examined data from the clinical trials and found that fifteen per cent of men using Propecia felt sexual dysfunction as less libido and erectile problems.
