[QUOTE="Matthew1975, post: 138423, member: 16306"] Before I decided to get into medicine, I worked at Merck, the company that makes Propecia and Proscar. Talking with a biochemist I worked with there, I casually mentioned that I'd been taking Propecia, because anything Merck makes we could get for free at the plant clinic. His face suddenly became very somber and he said, in a very serious and matter of fact voice, "I would NEVER take that." When I asked him why, he said he couldn't say specifically, but said "Just don't take it, trust me. Please stop taking it." If you read the insert, you will see that Propecia (finasteride), does irreparable harm to the genitalia of male rats when given to pregnant rats. Because of this, women of child-bearing age are not supposed to even touch anti-androgenic drugs such as Propecia because of the strong possibility of horrible birth defects. At work, it's discouraged for female nurses or pharmacy employees to touch such medication even while wearing gloves, because if there is a break in the glove, there is a risk. Propecia, and it's brethren, were never meant for young men. The reason Proscar (a higher dose of finasteride, and the original form of the drug), which is taken for BPH, never raised any obvious red flags to the masses is because it was taken primarily by elderly men, so the effects on their testosterone and their entire male hormone profile wasn't as noticeable as it is in men who are young and healthy enough to be damaged by the drug's effects. I cannot say this strongly enough: do not take Propecia, or any other anti-androgen. [/QUOTE]
