Propecia leads to Impotence, leads to Lawsuits.

What could be worse for a man than not being able to perform sexually? The physical and psychological damages from such a situation are the fodder of many Internet postings as well as the basis of lawsuits being filed on behalf of men who are suffering from permanent impotence because they used the hair-replacement drug Propecia.

Propecia was heavily promoted and advertised when it was first developed and much of the sales pitch included the perception that men who were losing their hair also were losing their sex appeal. Hair-replacement drugs such as Propecia made the pitch that by using the drugs to replace hair loss, these men would slowly regain their attractiveness and lost youthful appearance.

Before-and-after examples were effectively incorporated into the sales campaign. It is difficult to document how many men were swayed by this call to masculinity and turned to Propecia but the company’s sales figures have been impressive.

Propecia Reports lead to Questions on Loss of Libido

However, reports began to emerge about how some men who had used the Propecia treatment were having serious sexual problems. Men typically do not talk about or report such personal matters but eventually some of these males sought help from their doctors or went public with how they could no longer participate in sex.

In the aftermath, several research studies and stories in the media raised concerns about whether Propecia is safe. The manufacturers of the drug have consistently said that Propecia is a safe, effective way of preventing baldness. Among the recommendations they have offered is that if side effects develop, men should discontinue using the drug and the symptoms will disappear.
