proscar

Avatar m tn s due to using findriside for hair loss. My hair is fine but not worth it now. I only just noticed it four days ago and have immediately stoped taking the medication. Would you say I have done permanent damage or when the findristride is totaly out if my system will it all go back to normal. I have an okay sex life and I am 32.
Avatar n tn Finasteride goes by the brand name Propecia (for MPB) and Proscar (for BPH) and is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat male pattern baldness (MPB) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) [enlargement of the prostate]. The medication works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to its bioactive metabolite dihydrotestosterone thus decreasing its levels in the body.
Avatar n tn he tried avodart for 1 year but not worked good for him thats why he stop and try another drug name proscar...
Avatar f tn Hair grows in cycles and some times we have more hair loss than others. Stress will certainly cause more hair loss. And opiate withdrawals causes stress. When you take opiates for a long time like you have, your body's physiology has been altered. Your central nervous system has created a multitude of opioid receptors that all are screaming for endorphins (opiates) to fill them, but your body has now forgotten how to make them by itself.
Avatar n tn The numerous reports may be the 1% who have the hair loss, so that doesn't prove the original drug trial %s were in error. Many people take this drug so if there was a large % with hair loss I would imagine it would have been reported and docs would stop prescribing it. That is a really interesting bit of information about the generics.
721523 tn?1331581802 My sister who is dx with MS started losing her hair and she thought it was due to the meds she was taking but went to the doctor and got tested and they found she had to much testastarone in her system so they gave her some meds to level it out with the estrogen and she is doing well with no more hair loss. And she regrew the hair she lost. I hope you find out what is causing the hair loss.
Avatar n tn From that time there has been drastic hair fall (clumps of hair) on a daily basis. Presently I am on Eltroxin (thyroid drug 100 mcg) and CCM (calcium supplement one daily). I had zinc tablets to treat hair fall but in vain. Please advise.
Avatar n tn I am totally off of meds and have been for 5 months. I feel the need to start my meds again but am terrified of the hair loss. My mohter is almost completely bald on top. She has never taken anxiety or depression meds but has needed them for years because she is totally stresses and jsut a miserably unhappy person. I wonder if the stress has beent he cause of her hair loss. I feel like I am my mom made over without the meds.
Avatar n tn for blood pressure. I have experienced hair loss for 3 mos. Which, if any, of those meds could cause hair loss?
Avatar n tn Although hair loss isn't listed as one of the side effects of Tamoxifen, it does occur. The only help would be stopping the drug and thereby it's action which of course is not advisable. In the meantime it's whatever type of cover-up makes you feel comfortable with the condition ... or nothing if you aren't bothered too much with the results. Regards ....
Avatar f tn Hi,Product to slow hair loss is EVENING PRIMROSE oil cold pressed,liquid form,fresh and no preservatives such as parabens.
Avatar f tn They call that non scarring hair loss which means it is reversible when you stop the medication. There is some association of depakote for that. I think for some, we really have to weigh if the side effects are worth the benefit. Your son's seizures are pretty intrusive to his life. What is he willing to live with in terms of side effects for the benefit of controlling the seizures? Have they checked his thyroid by the way?
Avatar f tn When your life is at stake, hair loss hardly matters. Mine was straight and now I have a head full of curls!!! You can get through this!!!
1205205 tn?1272394483 The PA who was instructing me on the self injections warned me that some patients shave their hair off completely because of the hair loss. My question is... for those of you that have experienced the hair loss- when does it stop? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar n tn Has anyone on this drug experienced hair loss? I've got hair loss and I'm on synthroid and trying to get rid of the problem and was thinking of switching. I could not find hair loss as a side affect of Armour.
Avatar n tn But if it is caused by the possible side effect of the synthroid, then if you stop the drug the hair loss stops. Hypothyroidism causes your hair to thin badly. I have that too because I am undermedicated. No, you will not go bald, but you can get severely thinning hair. Most people that have this problem do better on a T3 T4 thyroid med. Also, make sure your iron levels are good. I take Evening Primrose Oil, which does not stop hair loss but nourishes the hair and helps soften it....
Avatar n tn I have been taking the medication 5-6 weeks and for the past week or so I am noticying hair loss. (roughly double the normal amount of hair I would loose in a day.) My hair is noticably thinning. Could this be a side effect of the medication I am taking? Has anyone else experienced this? On a side note, my skin is now completely clear.
Avatar f tn but the loss of sensation extends to SEXCUAL as well (almost no feeling there and DIFFICULT to ejaculate.if i do almost nothing comes out. What is going on? NO ONE suspects cancer (A pevious micitrition study in 2014 revelaed a sdcarred bladder neck..but no indications of stone blockage in bladder or cancer. NO discoloration on penis or area. NO STD (have not had sex in LONG time).
1142540 tn?1261368153 One more major question I have for you is when does this get out of my system and when will the hair loss/ itchiness stop? Is this scarring(permanent) hair loss or will it grow back!??
Avatar f tn I have also noticed hair loss and fatigue has anyone else experienced hair loss and fatigue from taking this drug?
Avatar n tn Hi! Maybe this is not really because of dorix. I'm losing a lot of hairs these days and I'm not taking tablets. If dorix produces this loss of hair I'm pretty sure that this loss has been increased because of the weather. Don't desperate but take care of your hair. Luck!!
1554747 tn?1294706815 Hi there. I've taken the smallest dose of Effexor XR (37.5 mg) for depression for a very short time, starting around Nov. 15th with my last pill being taken on Jan. 4th, so 6 days ago. For the past month+ I've suffered from extreme hair loss which I presume is from this drug. I lose about 6 huge 'clumps' of hair in the shower, another 2-3 massive chunks while brushing my hair and a ridiculous amount just day-to-day. There is hair everywhere in my house.
