propecia

Avatar m tn They both can lower your blood pressure and the two together may cause more than just an additive effect. I think it safest to not use both. You could contact the manufacturer of viagra (Pfizer) and ask their opinion. S.A.Liroff, M.D.
Avatar n tn “Women who are or may potentially be pregnant must not use PROPECIA and should not handle crushed or broken PROPECIA tablets because the active ingredient may cause abnormalities of a male baby's sex organs. If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with the active ingredient in PROPECIA, a doctor should be consulted. PROPECIA tablets are coated and will prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling, provided that the tablets are not broken or crushed.

Avatar m tn Very high blood pressure (150/100), high heart rate (80-90 at rest, 100-120 while just walking around the house), extreme anxiety, and dropped about 5 pounds in the last week without trying. I took progesterone cream for 2 months (June and July). All of these issues seemed to have popped up after I quit the cream. I took this to see if it could help with low libido caused by Propecia. Here's my Thyroid results: T3 Uptake 38 (norm 22-35) T4 total 6.4 ( 4.5-12) Free T4 2.4 (1.4-.
Avatar m tn Hello, It has been found that the sexual side effects associated with the hair loss medication like Propecia, includes problems with libido, ejaculations and orgasm and it could last even after patients stop taking the drug which may be months to years. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps.
Avatar n tn To my horror I came across this page and saw your posts. I stopped taking propecia more than a year ago and have not regained any of the sexual funtion i lost while taking the meds. My erections are LAME, my seaman volume is a joke (and it used to come out like a garden hose) and my orgasms dont even feel that great. I can go months and months now without masterbation and dont even feel horny. This NEVER used to happen to me.
Avatar f tn There's no blood or any other symptoms whatsoever. I'm an avid bodybuilder and frequently drink 1 gallon of water a day. I doubt its hydration. I've seen mentions of high protein diets that may cause this and seeing as my diet is a high protein one, that could be the cause. One of the urologists first concerns was a semen analysis to get done, which came back completely normal. I guess it could be due to the propecia(Finasteride) however it's nothing of concern, according to him.
Avatar f tn So a couple of months is a good projection as this pill changes hormonal balance in your blood and gene expression about androgen receptors. There is a Swedish study that states the permanent dangers of this drug : In 2008, the Swedish Medical Products Association reported that men who used Propecia may be more likely to suffer from irreversible sexual dysfunction. The organization soon required that Merck updated the safety labeling to include this important risk information.
Avatar m tn Hello I have been using Rogaine and Propecia 1mg a day for the last 6 years , my alts and so on have always been high around 150 , my gastro doctor 6 years ago it is fine to be using it , now I have stage 11 Fibrosis and will start treatment probably in the next year or so I wil try and wait for telaprevir . Is it safe to use rogaine & propecia while on treatment ?
Avatar n tn Usually you can find out things like this from a pharmacist, and it is also helpful to look up the drug's website and perhaps give a call to its 800 number.

Avatar n tn s assistant pretty much ruled out telogen effluvium, told me it was androgentic alopecia, and wrote me a prescription for Propecia. I almost wish I had not went to this appointment as I now have to decide between what this PA concluded and what seems like common sense. Does this seem like a correct diagnosis or should I get a second opinion?
Avatar m tn Forgot the most important word but you can insert mind, energy level, memory, skin moisture, restful sleep and a few others and the sentence will still be correct. Treatment is tough and in the big scheme of things hair loss is the least of your worries. I know as young man of 32 it's difficut to understand that but it's very true.
Avatar n tn My sex drive is no where near where it was before taking propecia and besides the erections I get in the morning or when I am sleeping, I still do not get spontaneous erections. I also don't get erections unless physically stimulated. My imagination or the sight of an attractive girl doesn't do it like it did prior to taking the drug. I don't feel aroused or want sex hardly ever.
Avatar m tn 5 mg for one year and 1 mg for 1 year till today), In october 2016 my derm put me on accutane 10 mg and minoxiline(100mg) for treating my mild acne, I had been drinking heavily for 5 days before starting my accutane course, 10 days into the course, I started to have Gyno(Unilateral, right breast with a movable tender lump), I dropped accutane and minoxiline and also propecia after 23 days. It has been a month now but my Gyno hasnt reduced, I restarted propecia as I was starting to lose hair.
Avatar m tn I went to a dermatologist and she put me on propecia for the hair loss. I also took a blood test and said my iron was low. But other then that I my blood was normal. Is it possible they ran certain tests on my blood and not others which maybe why I am misdiagnosed. I have a follow up in late july. I didnt have this burning sensation before i went to see my doc. And my burning scalp is not a symptom of propecia. Any ideas to what this could be? A disease?

Avatar f tn m taking minoxydil and propecia for hair loss for the last 6 months did the affect the HIV first test reading which came positive as I stopped taking those medicine after the first rapid test which came positive, and do I need to repeat the HIV test again as the doctor asked me to do the HIV test again in 1 year time which made me worried as he might knows something which I don‘t know and honestly the last days were a disaster for me but what about waiting for 1 year which I‘m sure I will die b
Avatar f tn I do feel tired and have appetite and sleep problems and high blood pressure now. My doctor believes that this is all stress induced and that don't require any testing. I also stopped taking a medication (Propecia) about a week ago and believe that it may have put my system out of whack. Please help.
Avatar n tn I took him to dermetologist, he priscribed Propecia for him. He said it has sexual side effect and goes away when yo sop taking the drug. He has lots of hair now and he does not lose any more hair. However, news is floting around saying that the sexual side effect comes from propecia is sometime not reversible. Asyesterday,he stopped his medicine. I am really worried if it has done any damage to him or not.
Avatar m tn Could this all somehow be in my head? I had a blood test which showed very slightly low blood pressure and very slightly elevated cholesterol but the urologist said that was nothing. I did not have an STD panel but it has been a long time since I've had intercourse and it's at the point where I'm afraid to get intimate again because I feel like I probably will have difficulty preforming.
