Warning about baldness pills


The US FDA just announced that they’re making the manufacturer of finasteride, which is sold in two forms as Propecia (used to treat baldness) and Proscar (used to treat prostate enlargement) slap new labels on the product to indicate that using this drug may result – in rare cases – in several sexual problems, a few of which such as lowered libido that may not even wane when the drug is discontinued.

Given that Propecia – the baldness treatment – is used by lots of men in their 30s and 40s, even though this is not a common side effect of the drug, it’s still well worth noting.

Maybe just go back to believing that bald is beautiful (it’s not but if you believe it, well, who cares, right?)
