The Various Finasteride Brand Names: They All Have Erectile Dysfunction Side Effects
|
Finasteride is sold under various names, in addition to the brand names
Propecia and
Proscar. It is important no know these drug names because
Finasteride’s side effects include permanent erectile dysfunction (ED), along with other permanent forms of sexual dysfunction.
Brands of generic Proscar include Finast, Fincar, and Prosteride. Brands of generic
Propecia include Finax and Finpecia. Although
Propecia and
Proscar and their generic forms are all Finasteride and therefore chemically indistinguishable, the doses are different.
Proscar, and its generic forms Finast, Fincar and Prosteride, are for treating enlarged prostate, and the pills are 5 mg. strength.
Propecia, and its generic forms Finax and Finpecia, are for treatment of male pattern hair loss, and their strength is only 1 mg. However, even though
Proscar and its generic forms are approved only for prostate treatment, they also are commonly prescribed for hair loss in order to be covered by health insurance.
If you have developed permanent sexual dysfunction as a result of taking Finasteride in any of its various forms, you may have a legal claim against the drug manufacturer for your injuries. You can learn more HERE.
