Do propecia side effects go away with continued use?

Question

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

In some cases, the side effects may dissipate. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

It goes without saying that if you have side effects with propecia i would recommend stopping the medication and seeing your Doctor. In some males the side effects do go away with continued use and some side effects can persist with continued use. Generally those who stop the medication after suffering from side effects recover well. In a very small cohort of patients the side effects persist despite stopping the medication.

The studies have shown that the side effects of propecia should go away with continued use in 60% of patients. However, there is an after market addition to the package insert that states that there have been reports of persistent side effects (post finasteride syndrome) even after discontinuation of the medicine. While this is rare it has been reported, so patients need to make an informed decision as to what to do. In my practice, we have used propecia with great success.

Sometimes. It really just depends on the patient, the type of side effect, and its severity. It's hard to tell whether a certain person's side effect will go away with time.

Ilhan Serdaroglu, MD · Answer

Yes, in some cases side effects of finasteride may subside even during usage of of drug. Post-finasteride syndrome may occurs in men who’ve taken finasteride to treat hair loss by a chance of %4-5.
