Propecia Sexual Side Effects

Treating Sexual Side Effects

It is impossible for your healthcare provider to know beforehand whether you will develop 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 are taking Propecia and sexual side effects occur, talk with your healthcare provider. He or she may be able to recommend treatment options, such as an erectile dysfunction medication. Depending on how severe your sexual side effects are, your healthcare provider may also recommend that you adjust your Propecia dosage or try another medicine to treat your condition.
