After experiencing and understanding the potential effects of finasteride, do you believe Propecia should be withdrawn from the market?

Opinion poll… vote & discuss.

This is a thread for the benefit of our own analysis. I understand that a hypothetical such as these may bother some of you in making judgements, but in an effort to understand and realize the truth of the matter and how it should be handled, I think instead of dealing with this on an individual basis (and there are about 600 individuals here), working together is our best hope at a fair conclusion to this catastrophe which can dismantle lives.

I expect we pretty much will all agree that Propecia is an unsafe drug and should be withdrawn for honest examination rather than basing its success on twisted facts and lies about its actual effects as Merck has provably done, but I thought this would be an interesting discussion to make sure.

I’ll give my thoughts later… Thanks

For guys who actually have an enlarged prostate or have prostate cancer, finasteride is worth the risk. But marketing it for hairloss…

Which might be why he asked if “Propecia” should be pulled?

Yes, of course.

Incidentally though, regardless of why it’s used, it (among other effects) still eliminates the more-vital effects of DHT and imbalances neurosteroids, the latter inducing neurological complications and brain fog, so even still one might wonder if finasteride is even worth consuming at all. A similar void in the reports of Proscar’s adverse effects is curious, but then again, chances are that men of that age aren’t about to go out and expand their sex life. Take it for what its worth, as the subject at hand doesn’t deal with BPH at all.

But yes, particularly in healthy males with MPB, using Propecia can bring about serious problems and dysfunctions, and its reason for use is inadequately justified. For those who have little to no adverse effects using Propecia, they still put their bodies at risk of serious damage despite being naive of what effects it can actually have, directly due to an irresponsible lack of honest info thanks to Merck.

The actual degree of influence finasteride can have on normal bodily functions needs to be determined rather than lied about and ignored, and the drug removed from sales if learned hazardous to health. This forum and its collected studies have accomplished the first part of that fairly well. The next step is showing that there is no way of knowing to what extent one’s body will develop negative conditions using Propecia or if they will recover, proving it unsafe.

The only aspect of this that can be called unclear is why certain users don’t recover from its effects, but since the HPTA and brain hormones it effects exist in an intricate balance, the manufacturer should have realized its potential dangers to the body before selling it blindly.

This makes me wonder what the person who voted against removing Propecia from the market was thinking to have such an opinion. Propecia’s days should be numbered.
