Propecia Side Effects: Sexual Dysfunction, Cancer
Propecia
Hair loss drug Propecia has been linked to a number of serious side effects, ranging from cancer to sexual problems including erectile dysfunction. Because the manufacturer of the medication may have failed to adequately warn men about these side effects, users who were diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer or suffered from Propecia sexual side effects may have legal recourse. Potentially, a Propecia lawsuit could provide men with an opportunity to seek compensation for medical bills and other damages resulting from their Propecia side effects.

Propecia: Impotence, Erectile Dysfunction and Infertility
Propecia has been linked to a number of sexual side effects, including erectile dysfunction, in men using the drug. Merck, the manufacturer of the drug, warned men about the possibility of abnormal Propecia sexual side effects, but allegedly, mislead consumers to believe that these problems were only temporary. Research dating back as early as 2003 has suggested that only 50% to 59% of men will see their Propecia sexual side effects cease after taking the drug, with newer studies indicating that these side effects, which also include ejaculation problems, loss of libido and testicular pain, could be permanent in at least 15% of Propecia or Proscar users, even after discontinuing the drug. One Propecia lawsuit has even alleged that some men suffering from Propecia sexual side effects may have to receive fertility treatment if they wish to have children.

Propecia and Cancer
In addition to Propecia sexual side effects, the medication has also been associated with a risk of high-grade prostate cancer, an adverse effect for which the FDA released a warning in June 2011. According to the FDA, Propecia, as well as several prostate drugs including Proscar, add to the risk of high-grade prostate cancer, a disease which is more aggressive when compared to low-grade prostate cancer. While the FDA has only associated the drug with prostate cancer, some users have claimed that Propecia may also be linked to male breast cancer. Symptoms which may indicate Propecia breast cancer in users of the drug may include:
- Nipple discharge
- Pain or lumps in breast area
- Male breast enlargement
