Dr. John Crisler – PERMANENT FINASTERIDE, PROPECIA, PROSCAR SIDE EFFECTS
Dr. John Crisler, DO speaking out at a recent medical symposium on the dangers of Finasteride, it’s dangerous effects on the endocrine system and possibility of permament sexual, mental and physical side effects.
———–
PERMANENT ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION NOW OFFICIAL:
In December 2008, the Swedish Medical Products agency concluded a safety investigation of Propecia and advise that use of Propecia may result in persistent sexual side effects. The Agency’s updated safety information lists difficulty in obtaining an erection that persists even after discontinuing Propecia as a possible side effect.
UPDATED PRESCRIPTION INFO:

Since the Swedish Medical Products Agency is the organization within Europe that is assigned to monitor the safety of Propecia, the text in the new Prescription Information is valid for all European countries.

*** NEWSFLASH: Possible CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT in Canada.
If you live in Canada and are suffering from unresolved Finasteride side effects DESPITE QUITTING the drug, register for a possible Canadian Class Action lawsuit at http://www.propeciaclassaction.com
Your contact info will be forwarded to a lawyer who may be in touch should the case proceed in the future.
—————
Many young men around the world based their decision to take Finasteride in the form of Propecia 1mg or Proscar 5mg for hairloss, based on the assurances by their doctor, the FDA’s Propecia clinical trials (2% of men may experience side effects) and Merck’s medical literature that states any side effects experienced on the medication should resolve with continued use, or most certainly upon discontinuation.
Unfortunately, this has not been the case for a certain percentage of men worldwide. These men continue to suffer (often in silence) from devastating, and thus far irreversible, mental, physical and sexual side effects from Finasteride — despite Merck’s claims that such side effects would resolve after quitting.
Most in the medical community are unaware of this possibility, dismiss such claims, or do not care to investigate further as to how or why the drug can leave some men with complete loss of sex drive, shrunken penis/scrotum, Peyronie’s Disease (penile fibrosis), loss of penile sensitivity, loss of spontaneous/morning/nocturnal erections, chronic fatigue, decreased mental acuity, memory recall issues and much more — or why after quitting those with permanent issues often find their Testosterone, LH & FSH levels drop through the floor (amongst other hormonal imbalances), often to hypogonadal levels typically only seen during male Andropause in old age.
Read the FAQ and Finasteride Studies section of http://www.propeciahelp.com for more information about the dangers and unlisted mechanisms of action of this drug, far beyond what Merck discloses in their advertising, medical literature and in their studies submitted to the FDA for Propecia approval.
5AR and DHT are absolutely critical for the proper mental, physical, sexual and fertility functioning of some men, and there are no guarantess that things will return to normal after taking drugs that disrupt or alter the endocrine system… including those like Finasteride that create a surrogate state of 5AR2 deficiency in men, thereby instilling a hormonal profile that matches that of a 5AR2-deficient pseudohermaphrodite.
End.

Another piece of …
Another piece of information on Vioxx, they decided to wait and disclose the increase risk of stroke after their patent expired. It’s a coincidence they would do that just after their patent expired.
I did read about it …
I did read about it and was surprised bc i had no clue that drug was from Merck and Co. So obviously this company has dealt with something like this before. If you are claiming that you are 27 and have had ED for 7 years bc of this drug then that is horrific!!! How do u live? All im saying here is that its sad to see so many people say Propecia is perfectly fine when obviously it isnt, even if the sufferers are in the .001% range. Even on the label, the side effect warnings are pretty nutty
Same reason why …
Same reason why they didn’t take “VIOXX” off the market and waited YEARS before they did anything. It was too late tho, 10,000+supposely died from it. Read that article from natural news, or any case studies done on Merck. A lot of it is taught in bus. school, they are unethical.
Secondly, I know for a fact there are a lot of individuals who do not join the propeciahelp website because they wish to remain unknown. The # is growing, and I would suspect it will be over 10,000 in a few years.
if u think im …
if u think im looking to pick a fight im not. I think its an absolute tragedy about these cases of permanent ED and all that. I have news for you though, theirs likely PLENTY more people on that site who just signed up bc they were either a) scared, or b) had questions about the side effects. If I had to guess the real number of sufferers its probably even below 1,000, not 1300. REGARDLESS, if this drug really is dangerous, then why can’t they get it off the market? serious question there
#1 You shouldn’t be …
#1 You shouldn’t be on that site because you do not have side effects #2 Doctors are not right because permanent side effects are very real #3 Take a hike. I find it amusing you are coming on these sites just to find out “information” about the side effects of this drug, yet you bash people who have had severe side effects. Your comments are not taking seriously as they have no validity behind them.
Come back to me later when you can disapprove the blood tests our members have gotten.
MrAnonn, #1, I …
MrAnonn, #1, I didnt bash the guy, I just said its weird how he puts down Propecia right before he brags about his own stuff, which is KNOWN not to work all that well. #2, I joined the site to try and post on it and ask those guys some serious questions however the site or my comp must be having problems bc it wont let me post on it. #3, if 90% of doctors say these ‘permanent’ side effects are all in these peoples heads, then i’m sure they are accurate in some way
(NaturalNews) The …
(NaturalNews) The Vioxx scandal widened this week as new research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine reveals that Vioxx maker Merck held data for three years that proved Vioxx caused an alarming increase in the risk of heart attacks and strokes. And yet Merck chose not to release that data. In fact, it took three more years of patients dying from heart attacks before Vioxx was pulled off the market, and even then, Merck insisted the drug was not dangerous.
off the natural news sit
We don’t care how …
We don’t care how the drug affected you. This is for individuals who are considering taking this drug and “risking” their manhood. Get it?
Funny Powerhouse. …
Funny Powerhouse. I noticed you joined the propeciahelp website. Why are you on there if you don’t have side effects? Get a life, bashing a reputable doctor will do you no good. Then again,you probably work for Merck.
Do your face looks …
Do your face looks puffier (rounder)? Have you got wrinkles in the eyes? Its a common side effect of propecia lloking 20 years older then you really are
“its as simple as …
“its as simple as this gang”
haha, not quite doc
very sorry, but I …
very sorry, but I have been taking propecia every other day at 11pm, for ten years. My younger brother and my father are bald. I have a full head of hair, but I still color it every so often. No problems at all. I work out four days a week, have a great diet, and fathered a beautiful, healthy little girl with my wife five years ago. And, I’m doing great in bed. I also drink a ton of water a day, if that means anything, and I look much younger than I am. So how come I’m not permanently damaged?
Yes VERY true… …
Yes VERY true…this is why I’m going to see a neuro-endocrinologist to do yet even more extensive tests. This drug has destroyed many people.
Its a clear fact …
Its a clear fact that finasteride is a dangerous drug as it not only blocks conversion of T to DHT but also synthesis of positive endogenous modulating neurosteroids of GABA, which is one of the most potent inhibiting neurotransmitter in higher brain centers,thats the reason that why this drug is very dangerous because in majority of brain debiliting diseases there is reduction in neurons synthesizing GABA such as hurler and alzeimer.
um perm side …
um perm side effects are very real…this is coming from a 27 year old who has suffered for 7+ years…No erectile function capacity. This is serious stuff…1358 members now on the propeciahelp website…The community is growing and Merck is ignoring our requests..
Don’t take the drug before it’s too late.
While I respect …
While I respect this guy as a doctor and i’m sure hes a very good one, I just find it a little fishy on how hes bashing Propecia right before he talks about his product spiro.
Well its been 3 …
Well its been 3 weeks, feel just the same had i never taken prop. Ive had blood tests done, my testosterone is slightly higher which my doc told me is relatively normal for a guy my age, testosterone levels are supposed to fluctuate slightly in men my age. No erectile dysfunction, theres a girl at my tennis club who i find really sexy so my desire for sex hasnt decreased.
Just wanted to give the heads up. tc
Because the FDA …
Because the FDA allows it…They also allowed Zetia, which is another drug by Merck. Further research from Abbot Labs clearly shows zetia is less effective than other drugs, and can cause an increase risk in heart attacks.
1,300 to be exact, …
1,300 to be exact, out of the maybe million people that take this drug. Why is it that all sorts of doctors say this is “in your head”? Why is it that this drug is still prescribed to people with no problem?
Yeah I took it for …
Yeah I took it for 8 weeks…You need to talk to a doctor if this persist more than 6 months…ok….find a good doctor who will listen to you…not an arrogant one who will tell you “it’s in your head”.
When all is said …
When all is said and done, Merck should pay for everyone’s medical bills. It’s been costing us alot of money seeking doctors who will try to get us back to normal, which is a mystery to most.
Merck, will you pay our medical bills?
I took finasteride …
I took finasteride for 15 days 1.5 years ago.
The side effects persist more than a year later after quitting the medication.
Does someone know how to get back to normal after taking that stuff?
side effects that stayed:
-no libido
-watery clear semen
-bad memory and concentration (brain fog)
-last too long while having sex, sometimes I can’t at all.
-plus other mental and physical side effects.
I’s embarrassing telling everybody this, but if someone has an answer, please let me know.
hes just selling …
hes just selling his own product- of course hes going to knock the competition-
hes just a wanker.
More and More …
More and More individuals are joining the propeciahelp website because of this drug….Very sad that Merck just ignores complaints and fails reach out to people on the website who have been suffering for over 5 years.
I MEAN LIPOSOMAL …
I MEAN LIPOSOMAL DELIVERY SYSTEM FUCK
