New Propecia Lawsuit Filed in Arizona

According to reports, he also suffered depression, fatigue and emotional anxiety. Like many other users of Propecia, he also experienced a loss of sex drive and orgasm disorders. He sought medical help including hospitalization, rehabilitation and expensive trips to the pharmacy, but his doctors state that he’ll likely need ongoing care for the remainder of his life. His story isn’t unique.

Potential Complications Caused by Propecia

While Propecia-related sexual dysfunction is the most common complaint, there are other side effects such as the ones this latest plaintiff has cited. Other Propecia side effects may include swelling in the hands or feet, swelling in the breasts, extreme dizziness and weakness, headaches, runny nose and skin rashes. It’s unlikely that all possible Propecia problems have been reported, so always contact a physician immediately if you need unwell.

The FDA approved Propecia in 1997, and Merck put millions of dollars into advertising — which paid off handsomely. The use of Propecia exploded into the aughts, but Merck failed to warn consumers about the potential risks of Propecia. Sometimes the sexual dysfunction is permanent. The Arizona plaintiff has said that on the 2012 bottle he used, it was written that there was less than a two percent chance of sexual dysfunction, and those symptoms subsided once Propecia was stopped.

The U.S. is the Last to Know

Merck didn’t start adding warning labels — albeit mild ones — to Propecia boxes until 2012. However, a clear warning label has been on European Propecia bottles since 2008. The Swedish Medical Products Agency stated in 2009 that use of Propecia can, indeed, lead to permanent erectile dysfunction. Overall, side effects last 40 months post-Propecia and 20 percent of users suffer Propecia problems for six years after discontinuing use.

The Arizona plaintiff is filing a Propecia lawsuit for negligent misrepresentation, fraud, breach of warranties, negligence, and violation of the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. He’s joining droves of other users, both men and women, who were unaware of the dangerous and lasting issues related to Propecia.

Did Propecia Impact You?

If you take Propecia or have in the past and experienced negative side effects, you potentially have a Propecia legal claim. Propecia was available in the U.S. for 15 years before a very minor warning label was added to the packaging. It’s possible that your hospital bills, rehabilitation and continuing care should be compensated.
