Propecia Erectile Dysfunction Lawsuit Filed by Kentucky Man
By Sarah Pierce
A Kentucky resident has filed a Propecia lawsuit against Merck & Co. alleging he suffered permanent injuries from taking the hair loss drug, including Propecia sexual dysfunction, erectile dysfunction and cognitive impairment. His case joins other men seeking Propecia lawsuit settlements from Merck for misrepresenting the safety and side effects of Propecia. Plaintiff Micky Woosley alleges in the Propecia lawsuit, filed August 7, 2012 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, that he began taking Propecia in June 2009 to treat his male pattern baldness. Woosley says he did not suffer sexual dysfunction or cognitive impairment before taking Propecia, but began to suffer severe symptoms of both conditions while on the drug. Two years later, even after discontinuing use of the drug, he still suffers Propecia sexual side effects and cognitive impairment, his Propecia lawsuit claims.
Propecia Erectile Dysfunction & Other Side Effects Downplayed by Merck
Like other Propecia lawsuit Plaintiffs, Woosley claims Merck downplayed the side effects of Propecia and misled users into believing they were uncommon and would disappear after discontinued use of Propecia. According to Woosley’s Propecia lawyer, Merck had a duty to accurately and truthfully warn consumers and medical professionals about the risk of Propecia side effects, but failed to do so. As a result, Merck “carelessly and negligently” manufactured, marketed and sold Propecia, concealed its defects, and misrepresented the safety of Propecia, his Propecia attorney says.
Propecia erectile dysfunction is just one of the many sexual side effects of Propecia. Other sexual side effects include:
* loss of sex drive
* low libido
* sexual dysfunction
* problems with orgasms
* shrinking or painful genitals
* impotence
* testicular pain
* ejaculation difficulties
Other non-sexual side effects of Propecia reported in lawsuits include:
* male breast cancer
* breast enlargement
* prostate cancer
* cognitive impairment
* anxiety
* depression
* memory loss
Propecia Lawsuit Settlement Sought for Severe & Permanent Injuries
Woosley is one of many men brave enough to come forward and admit he’s suffered Propecia sexual side effects. Rather than sit back in silence, he’s decided to fight back against Merck for breaching its duty to warn the public about the possibility of severe and permanent Propecia side effects.
Woosley claims he’s endured significant pain and suffering, a severely diminished quality of life, and will continue to suffer “severe emotional distress either due to physical injury or a rational fear of physical injury,” his Propecia lawsuit claims. With the help of his Propecia lawyer, Woosley is suing Merck for negligence, breach of warranties, strict liability, fraudulent concealment, fraud, and negligent infliction of emotional distress.
Woosley is seeking damages from Merck through a Propecia lawsuit settlement. Though the money may do little to restore the normal life his Propecia side effects took away, it will be the first step to hopefully moving forward in his life.
