Probably the single largest reason why men do not take the hair loss drug Propecia is it that they are concerned about the sexual side effects of using the drug. For the vast majority of men having a good sexual function is far more important than having a full head of hair and thus when they read the small print that accompanies Propecia many of them get a little bit scared.

At Ukmedix News we want to remind you that this sexual side effect occurs in less than one percent of men and in every single case ever reported the reduction of erectile function went away immediately when the man stopped taking the drug. So look at it like this; if by an extremely remote chance you felt that your erectile function was not up to its usual standard when using the Propecia medication all you have to do is stop taking it and you are back to where you were before.
We have also noticed that manufacturers of products selling other hair loss treatments are keen to highlight this sexual side effect of Propecia in order so that they can increase the liklihood of themselves making a sale. It is worth remembering that the Propecia drug is the most effective drug treatment in the world by far to stop the process of genetic male pattern baldness and that with the exception of minoxidil there is no other properly tested and clinically proven way of reducing and preventing this type of baldness.
The other reason why men choose not to use Propecia is that they have read the accompanying literature with the drug which tells them they must not take it if they are trying to have children. It is felt by many doctors and scientists that Merck have merely decided to be overly cautious and that it is impossible for a foetus to be harmed by a man taking Propecia. It is worth knowing that 4 million men are using Propecia and the drug has been on sale for eight years now and that not one case of abnormality of a foetus has been reported to date. You should speak to your doctor about this. It is extremely dangerous for women of a child bearing age to take the Propecia drug.
