Propecia Sexual Side Effects (Cont.)

Treating Sexual Side Effects of Propecia

It is impossible for your healthcare provider to know beforehand whether you will develop any sexual side effects while taking Propecia. Also, if a person does develop sexual side effects, such as impotence or a decrease in libido, it is difficult to know whether these problems are actually caused by another condition or Propecia itself.
 
However, if you develop any sexual side effects while taking Propecia, make sure to talk with your healthcare provider. There is treatment that he or she may be able to recommend, such as an erectile dysfunction medication. Depending on how severe your sexual side effects are, he or she may also recommend that you adjust your Propecia dosage or try another medicine to treat your condition.
