Hair erection by medicines or exercise

Approximately 32,000 French could have tomorrows, while they are prescribed a medicine against baldness ... which may render them powerless. Propecia, a drug produced and marketed by the pharmaceutical company Merck, blocks the action of testosterone, the male hormone involved in hair loss.

Its side effects, public, are well explained in the instructions accompanying the drug. It lists: erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, decreased volume of ejaculation ...

Le Parisien, a daily newspaper of the Hexagon, is concern, however, the irreversible nature of these inconveniences.

Similar issues were raised in the U.S., where discussion forums have emerged in this regard.
