Group sues to have hair-loss drug Propecia pulled from market

A patient advocacy group has filed a lawsuit seeking to pull Merck & Co's hair loss drug Propecia and its generic versions from the market, saying federal regulators had failed to act on evidence that it causes depression, erectile dysfunction and, in some cases, suicide.

I have the same issue if I take too much finasteride. With 1mg daily dosage I will get these symptoms but when I reduce it to 0.33mg/day the symptoms go away in a week or two. I'm thinking of trying the topical solution next with 1mg/day dosage.

unnngghhhhhh - not more of this: I dont want a small penis but I dont want to be bald with a small penis...so can finasteride make it any smaller? I think not...I'll take a shrivel and glorious hair........its just a penis..it is useless without hair...right????

I really got frustrated about the sides and switched to topical finasteride this week. I have already noticed some changes in libido and erections are much stronger in morning. Still have to wait couple more weeks to get better results. The solution is equivalent to 1.5mg oral finasteride but I'm wondering how much of that really gets in to my body as some of the solution gets on my hair.

Finasteride does NOT work like minoxidil....it has same effect.on the body topically as it does taking pill but much less gets in system topically. Thus I think.... taking a lower dose orally is same as simply using topical...

Hope I'm wrong BUT pretty sure it's same

I have been since 6 months and have not been able to get a full erection, I ejaculate with the penis still a little soft and the maximum penis size has decreased by 2cm. for days I can't get up even taking steroids like testosterone 500mg, I spent 2 months without jacking off or having sex or having an erection, only when I started taking testosterone enanthate and I got an erection and desire again but still I can't get one full erection, and often during sex I get totally flaccid, I'm very embarrassed. Now I stopped taking testosterone and went back to it, I don't feel like it at all. I'm only 24 years old. I don't know what I'm going to do I don't want to lose my hair but I don't want to be helpless either. I know there is no medicine as good as finasteride. Do you think ru58841 would be as good as finasteride?

Nobody, really ? Dude, if you are taking Testosterone plus finasteride most probably your Estrogen levels are much, much higher than the normal limit. So simple like that . And High E2 can cause all that. And yes, inhibiting your DHT will not help either .

All the drugs have less systemic absortion that the same drug using it orally . It all depend how much it goes systemic and how much are you using . If you are using 1 % finasteride ( most studies done and people use it , use that high dose ) , probably will be the same an simple using it orally. But if you use 0.025 % finasteride is another story . You will be using 40 times less finasteride in a 0.025 % lotion compare to a 1 % lotion . From that, just a part will go systemic in both cases.
Topical is ALWAYS the way to go to treat androgenetic alopecia, acne, psoriasis, etc.

Life is about choices... Lol...I'd rather have hair. Erections are useless without hair.....

Without erections, you can have all the hair you want but will be useless . What do you think will happen with a girl " Ok, It don't matter that your penis don't work, you have such a good hair that I will have an orgasm looking it " . Lol .

And not only that but she will end up going back to her well hung balding friend with benefits behind your back.

Yes, when they keep creating threads like this I would say it's a real dick move............................................

 

[subsidence82]

So what? Generally dudes with bigger dicks are bigger themselves, meaning larger vital organs (re:heart) to pump the blood.

There is zero scientific evidence showing that larger men have higher rates of ED.

And pornhub just blew this theory right the f**k out.

I find it ironic that the same crowd that craps on finasteride, are receptive and supportive of dudes trying legit female hormones to regrow hair. Ive seen it first hand in this place and it’s ridiculous.

I'm certain I've seen doctors state that finasteride is utilized the same way topically or orally. It does not work topically by targeting the hair follicles. It still has to be absorbed and broken down by liver same way though less absorption via topical vs oral.

So can I have same results with topical as I would with oral? Come to think, minoxidil is available orally and is superior so I must be completely misunderstanding...

Why wouldn't we all use topical if same results but less sides? Maybe some men have zero sides to why waste time with topical route?

Thanks so much

Could the reason for the libido side effects come from the fact that some side products of finasteride goes through gastro tract? Topically this would not be the case or is somehow less?

you are posting false statement . First at all, Finasteride was prove to work IN VITRO on follicles. Meaning it don't need the transformation by the liver to work .
Why we don't use topical ? really ?! cause use topical is " messy " . If you tell to somebody, like merk did in their focus group in the 90 . "Would prefer to take a pill or put a lotion in your scalp , what you would choose "
Of course everybody will prefer a pill cause it is a lot easier to use, faster to use , specially that upjhon did a very greasy minoxidil with Rogain cause they were using high concentration of PG . And they told you " use this lotion twice daily " . If a people with already hair problem put that greasy lotion in his hair during the day will have even more crappy hair look , and this is why most people stopped Rogain use .

Im not sure....I'm thinking less systemic absorption via topical but how and why..not sure...

Is topical effective? Slightly less? Fair trade off for no sides...??

Ok.....I'm sorry. I said "I'm sure I saw" doctors say....I guess not...I'm often wrong and this time I'm happy to be wrong
Does it matter that studies were in vitro not invivo?

Could one a day finasteride topical be ok?

Thanks
