New York Post: Propecia Users Claim Drug Causes Memory Loss, ED, Suicidal Thoughts
In a revealing article by Michael Kaplan published in the New York Post, several Propecia users share their harrowing experiences with the hair-loss drug, claiming it has caused severe side effects, including memory loss, erectile dysfunction, and even suicidal thoughts.
The piece highlights the tragic story of Stephen Kenney, a police officer from Doraville, Georgia, who took his own life after suffering from debilitating side effects linked to Propecia. Despite warnings now required by the FDA about the potential for “suicidal ideation and behavior,” the article underscores that these warnings may have come too late for many.
Merck, the maker of Propecia, maintains that the drug is safe when used as directed, though a growing number of users and studies suggest otherwise. The article also touches on the experiences of other men who continue to struggle with long-term side effects, raising questions about the true safety of the drug.
