PROPECIA, PROSTATE CANCER, AND YOUR PSA SCORE

[paspoert123]

please someone help me im 20 years old im just not sure if i should take propecia and minoxidill because alot of people say it causes bad side effects and i really dont want that and yet alot of people say that it doesnt cause any serious side effects im so confused because i want a treatment for my hairloss and now i dont know what to believe pls some1 answer this question or tell me where i can go to get a good answer,

@paspoert123 with all medications, there are risks of side effects. i personalize believe that propecia is very safe. however, you must always speak with a prescribing doctor about the risks, benefits, and limitations in person before starting.

[paspoert123]

@samlammd thnx for answer docter, i researched very much about propecia and i know the benefits and so on , but what i want to know is if i experience any side effects will they go away after i stop taking propecia i mostly concerned about the sexual side effects.

[samlammd]

@paspoert123 there are things on the internet that claim permanent sexual side effects. i have only had one reported case out of thousands from my patient base. i personally believe side effects for propecia are temporary.

[paspoert123]

@samlammd Thanks for the advice docter , i think i will give it a try. I was thinking of getting a treatment of propecia with minoxidill.

[samlammd]

@paspoert123 cool.

Taking it for almost 15 years- no notable side effects other than full head of hair . Taking it profilactedly , should of been almost bald by now. probably avg 3 pills a week for last 10yrs.

i've been taking propecia for 6 years and it works just fine for me.

no side effects and its put a pause on my hair loss.

[kamal91111]

is there any other pills besides propecia or proscar that will not cause PSA.

[samlammd]

not that i know of except of course for minoxidil, or Rogaine. however, remember that a PSA score that is halved should not be necessarily bad. You just have to adjust the number when reading the value. That is all.

I love this man.

[samlammd]

thanks!

Nah man... I know quite a few people who got sick off propecia. Merck should have never released that drug.

[PowerRedBull]

I just want everyone who has sexual side effects and is taking BOTH propecia and MINOX, to make totally sure propecia is the one causing the problems. I got sexual side effects from rogaine and not from propecia. Sounds strange, i know, but true. I'm fine with anything anyone takes..but just try to quit rogaine for a short time to make SURE that is not the one causing the problem. After all, they still do not know HOW minixidil works...

[mark883nm]

I am using it for one year and half, I have no side effects, I take it along with minoximen, and my hair started to regrow, while the thin ones turned back normal.

Thanks propecia.

[MrAnonnn0]

Took propecia at 20 for 8 weeks...Stopped taking it, I am 27 right now, and the side effects have not gone away. I have erectile dysfunction. Go to the propeciahelp website to see relative stories.

[MrAnonnn0]

By all means, take this drug if your sexual health is not IMPORTANT to you.

[DIZZZZY1975]

So, the mega billion dollar merck corp. knows less than this guy...ok. I have been taking propecia for ten years, have a beautiful head of hair, and feel great. I take it every other day. I'm fine.

[devdas01]

Why would it be less efficacious to use 1/4 of a tablet of Proscar 5mg, which would be 1.25 mg, which is higher than the Propecia 1mg finasteride?

[samlammd]

good point. i am always worried about variable delivery in amount per day. will it make a big difference? don't know. probably not.
