one tablet daily to slow down male pattern baldness, prescribed in 2010 to nearly 32,000 French. Alas, for some, Propecia, generic and its promise of strong hair has turned into a nightmare. They are now hundreds to complain about the serious consequences of their treatment, primarily for disorders of sexual function.
They wanted to find the hair of their 20 years, and end up "with a testosterone level equivalent to that of men 80 years". Them, they are people who have been unfortunate enough to ingest at least one anti-baldness pill meets the sweet name of Propecia, without knowing the side effects. And for good reason, because its manufacturer, Merck Sharp & Dhome, has only to change its instructions to clarify that "1% of patients experiencing erectile dysfunction." And it may even persist after cessation of treatment ...
