Hi I've been on propecia for about a year now but I am thinking of coming off it as I have been experiencing painful ejaculation, not sure if it is related but have heard this can be a side effect, can you just stop taking it or do you have to come off it gradually?

Answer: Stopping Propecia It's fine to just stop taking it- but it is always a good idea to talk it over with your doctor before making changes to your medication routine. It takes ~2-3 weeks for it to completely leave your system, at which point you'll begin to see your shedding resume (and should see those side effects subside if it is the Propecia that is causing them).

Answer: Coming off finasteride Be sure to speak to your physician about this. It is fine to come off finasteride quickly. Hair will starts shedding in a few weeks and significant loss of hair may occur by 6-9 months.
