Dr. Rassman, Are there any alternatives for someone who has developed side effects from propecia. I began to develop gynocomastia from it after three months and I am no win the process of looking for something else to slow down hair loss.
Also, thanks for having this blog!! You rock!
Gynecomastia (painful nodules that appear in the male breast) is a rare complication/side effect from Propecia. I believe that even Avodart has the same side effect. My heart goes out to you. Get a good Master Plan, which may be critical to defining what your future hair loss has in store for you. Minoxidil may help as well, but it usually does not stop the hair loss in the young man.
gyno is so not rare when on Propecia. I got it from propecia, i was upset with hair loss but man boobs is something that is harder to live with than hair loss. I am sure you know better doc. Man boobs happens to 1 in 4 on propecia and not 1 in 300 as the company mentioned…just to sell the damn product
