That’s certainly not accurate that Propecia aide effects are gone in a month. Not at all. Side effects can take many months to resolve. 4-7 months is not uncommon. We don’t really know the incidence of persistent problems and persistent dysfunction. One study suggested it could be as high as 1 in 100 but it could be lower. We don’t know.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

When you take them and the sexual side effects happen, then most people who stay the course, find that the sexual side effects go away in a few months. If you stop it, the side effects often go away in a month or two
