Tänkte posta ett litet citat från Dr Lee så man inte stirrar sig blind på officiell statistik…
“I have never agreed with Merck’s report of the incidence of side effects due to initial Propecia use. My experience with finasteride is that the percentage of patients with side effects of decreased libido, erectile dysfunction and/or ejaculatory disorder is approximately 5 or 6 times higher than the 3.8% that Merck reports. Initially, Merck claimed that the incidence of side effects was less than 2%. Since assessing ‘decreased libido’ is of such a subjective nature, I have repeatedly asked for a copy of Merck’s original clinical trials. On each occasion, I’ve been denied a copy of that study. It is not surprising that the incidence of side effects declined dramatically in the fifth year of use. Patients who did have sexual side effects simply wouldn’t tolerate those side effects for five years. With this in mind, the report of 0.6% of Propecia users having sexual side effects after five years of use sounds incorrect and misleading. “
