Propecia Side Effects Lawsuits Bring Couples to Court
By John Curran
Treatment for men’s and women’s baldness is elective, which means that patients have the choice to take hair loss drugs such as Propecia. Unfortunately, Propecia sexual dysfunction side effects aren’t, and as Top Class Actions has reported, these may not go away. In fact with the drug, also known as Proscar or finasteride, cognitive side effects can also have a lasting impact. It’s why numerous Propecia class action lawsuit attorneys have filed cases in recent weeks.
Keep in mind, it’s not just men who are faced with these problems. Many of them are at a stage in their lives where starting a family is still important, so Proscar and Propecia erectile dysfunction side effects can lead to a lifetime of issues. One might argue that that is an exaggeration, but a recent study by George Washington University found that many finasteride side effects lasted for more than three and a half years after discontinued use of the drug, and are ongoing. So in addition to men from California and New York, a wife has backed her New Jersey husband who filed a Propecia lawsuit with the help of a Propecia class action lawsuit lawyer.
The Propecia lawsuit, like others, alleged that manufacturer Merck was well aware of these Propecia sexual side effects and other finasteride cognitive side effects as well. The fact that the FDA recently forced the company to include information about Propecia sexual dysfunction lends some credence to the claims. Like younger men who have virility issues when taking the medication, the older a man can get, the more risk he might have for Propecia cognitive impairment side effects. As research noted with the Propecia erectile dysfunction issues, these cognitive side effects have not gone away for some men.
It’s especially concerning because it’s hard to tell whether or not these finasteride side effects will accelerate the aging process, or prompt more risk-taking and aggressiveness that could also shorten one’s lifespan. The biggest problem with these cases is that since they involve hormones and the circuitry of the brain, coming up with solid evidence, especially to assess damages if a Propecia lawsuit settlement is won by a Propecia class action lawsuit attorney, is going to be difficult.
That said, if you or someone you know has suffered from Propecia, Proscar or finasteride erectile dysfunction, know that you’re not alone. In fact, the Propecia class action multi-district legislation is so large that there are 17 Propecia attorneys already in place just to oversee the course of the litigation.
