Tommy Ringart cheef of information MSD, translation: the most common side effects are reduced libido, erection problems and reduced semen quantity. But these are side effects that are rarely occurent in an estimated 1 out of a hundred or 1 out of a thousand ppl and these are also side effects that will subside if one continue to use propecia and if this is not the case then they will subside when one quits propecia.

On the net we find a forum for men who have more or less persisting sideeffects induced by propecia. it speaks about erection dysfunction, pain in the testicles, depressions and breast that suddenly starts to grow. The forum has more than a thousand users and nicholas is one of them.
