Propaganda & absolute BS from MERCK about Finasteride’s supposed safety profile for men (just read the rest of the studies posted on this forum for the truth):

http://www.propecia.com/finasteride/propecia/hcp/prod_data_highlights/antiandrogen.jsp

"Clinical studies showed:

Effect on the plasma lipid profile NO

Negative effect on bone mineral density NO

Blocking of or binding to the androgen receptor NO

Androgenic, antiandrogenic, estrogenic, antiestrogenic, or progestational effects NO

Clinically meaningful changes in luteinizing hormone or follicle-stimulating hormone NO

Effect on the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis NO

Clinical studies showed men treated with PROPECIA® (finasteride) had increased mean testosterone and estradiol levels (approximately 15%), but these levels were within normal physiologic range. "

That’s weird, what do you guys think?

Ya think merck just is in it for the money, or do they care? Cus really at the end of the day they’re all people with the same beating hearts. It’s tough, you wanna’ be mad, but gotta realize–we all eat bread the same way. Propecia is poison, but maybe not the people who make it.

WTF is the point of your post? Posting such ridiculous “anecdotes” like we’re supposed to have no blame for the manufacturer is just asinine on your part.

The fact is they do not advertise the true risks of this medication when it comes to irreversible damage to one’s sexual, phyiscal and mental function, however small such risks may be.

If it makes you feel better that you don’t want to blame them for your issues, be my guest. The rest of us know who’s at fault here.

Yeah, you’re right.

I didn’t see it that way.
