PFS Foundation: Tragic Case Highlights Deadly Risks of Finasteride

In a heart-wrenching account published by the PFS Foundation, Philip Dixon shares the devastating impact of finasteride on his brother, Paul. After starting the drug in 2014 to combat hair loss, Paul experienced severe sexual dysfunction, deep depression, and persistent suicidal thoughts. These symptoms did not improve even after he stopped taking the medication. Unfortunately, despite recent warnings from the UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency about these dangers, the alerts came too late for Paul, who tragically ended his life. Philip stresses, “We need to continually remind doctors that this drug could prove fatal to any patient,” underscoring the critical need for increased awareness and caution.
