Manufacturers Listed Side Effects Of Propecia
(1) Decrease in your blood Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels.
PROPECIA can affect a blood test called PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) for the screening of prostate cancer. If you have a
PSA test done you should tell your healthcare provider that you are taking PROPECIA because PROPECIA decreases PSA levels. Changes in PSA levels will need to be evaluated by your healthcare provider. Any increase in follow-up PSA levels from their lowest point may signal the presence of prostate cancer and should be evaluated,
even if the test results are still within the normal range for men not taking PROPECIA. You should also tell your healthcare provider if you
have not been taking PROPECIA as prescribed because this may affect the PSA test results. For more information, talk to your healthcare provider.
(2) There may be an increased risk of a more serious form of prostate cancer in men taking finasteride at 5 times the dose of PROPECIA.
