Objective:To compare the clinical outcome of Finasteride and placebo in patients with and without a history of sexual dysfunction after menopause. A retrospective evaluation of the medical records of 598 patients treated with Finasteride and placebo from January 2004 to January 2011 was conducted. A total of 596 patients with an average age of 59 (SD = 23.3) years were included. Of these, 94 (31.9%) patients were treated with Finasteride, compared to 84 (26.9%) with placebo. The overall response rate was significantly higher with Finasteride (31.9%) than with placebo (23.1%). The proportion of patients with an adverse sexual outcome was significantly higher with Finasteride (41.9% vs 14.2%, P < 0.001) and placebo (35.6% vs 15.9%, P < 0.001). The rate of adverse sexual events was significantly higher with Finasteride (3.7% vs 5.3%, P = 0.03), but the rate of adverse sexual events was not different in placebo than in Finasteride (2.1% vs 0.7%, P = 0.05). The rates of other sexual adverse events were significantly higher with Finasteride (2.9% vs 4.3%, P = 0.03) and placebo (2.3% vs 4.1%, P = 0.05). Finasteride treatment resulted in a significant increase in the frequency of ejaculations in patients with a history of sexual dysfunction. This finding is consistent with the results of a literature review that found that patients with a history of sexual dysfunction with a diagnosis of prostate cancer and prostate cancer, and men with prostate cancer did not show an increase in the frequency of ejaculations.
METHODSPatient population
A total of 598 patients were treated with Finasteride and placebo (Finasteride plus placebo) and were included in the study. The patients with a history of sexual dysfunction were defined as having a history of sexual dysfunction of any nature (ejacency, orgasm, ejaculation disorder, and ejaculation disorder) during the prior 3 months and were excluded from the study.
Finasteride and placebo was well tolerated by the patients with no clinically relevant side effects. However, adverse events were less frequently reported with Finasteride than with placebo (2.7% vs 0.3%, P = 0.07).
In the Finasteride group, 1,063 patients received the combination of Finasteride and placebo (finasteride-placebo) (Table 1). The average number of patients in the Finasteride group was 7.3 (SD = 2.5).
Patients in the Finasteride group
The following data were obtained from the patients with a history of sexual dysfunction: age, sex, and race. The proportion of patients with a history of sexual dysfunction in the Finasteride group was significantly higher than in the placebo group (27% vs 14%, P < 0.001). The overall response rate was significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (31% vs 20%, P = 0.04). The rates of adverse sexual side events were significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (3.7% vs 5.3%, P = 0.03) and the rate of adverse sexual events was not different between the two groups (2.1% vs 0.7%, P = 0.05). The rates of other sexual adverse events were significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (2.9% vs 4.3%, P = 0.03). The rates of other sexual adverse events were significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (2.3% vs 4.1%, P = 0.03).
Patients with a history of sexual dysfunction with a diagnosis of prostate cancer
The proportion of patients with a history of sexual dysfunction with a diagnosis of prostate cancer was significantly higher in the Finasteride group (33% vs 12%, P = 0.04). The overall response rate was significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (27% vs 14%, P = 0.02). The rate of adverse sexual side events was significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (2.9% vs 4.3%, P = 0.03). The rates of other sexual side effects were significantly higher with the combination of Finasteride and placebo (2.3% vs 4.1%, P = 0.03).
Finasteride is a prescription medication commonly used to treat hair loss in men. It works by addressing the underlying causes of male pattern baldness, a condition that affects many men as they age. Finasteride is significantly more effective in treating this condition, helping to slow or even reverse it faster than is safe to use if it is taken regularly. It is important to note that Finasteride is not a permanent solution to hair loss, and it may take several months of consistent use before significant results are expected.
Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase (Reduct) inhibitor, which works by blocking the production of DHT, a hormone that has long been associated with male pattern baldness. By reducing the amount of DHT that is produced, finasteride helps to slow or even reverse hair loss caused by this%) and may even promote new hair growth. Finasteride is commonly taken to treat male pattern baldness, and it may be taken long term for weeks to become halt hair loss.
Finasteride is not an all all-5-alpha reductase (Reduct) inhibitor, which is common in clinical trials. Finasteride is also often taken for hair loss, and it is taken regularly for hair regrowth that is desired.
Finasteride is to be taken as a 1mg tablet, and it is to be taken with food to help swallow the tablets. You are advised to take the 1mg tablet 1-3 days before you are to have any additional meal. If your condition does not improve after taking the 1mg tablet, you will be advised to take the 1mg tablet 3 times a day, and do not take it more often than once a day.
Like all medications, finasteride has some side effects, although not everybody gets them.
The most common side effects are:
These side effects usually settle between half ATT and fullachi, and are mild. If you get more severe side effects, you should consult a doctor or pharmacist.
A more serious side effect of finasteride is ejaculation problems. Because of the decreased sex drive that can be experienced by male women, they lose more sexual desire than normal. This side effect causes someone to become more confident or sexually aroused. If youEjaculation problems can cause serious harm, you should not take finasteride.
Other side effects include the following:
You are advised to avoid alcohol with finasteride, as it can increase the risk of side effects.
Consult your doctor if you experience any of the following side effects:

Some patients take finasteride for high order moments, and the high order moments are when the medication starts working faster than expected. If you experience any of the following side effects, you are recommended to contact a doctor:
Finasteride is available in tablet form, and it is not recommended to take it for women.
The drug company that filed a patent infringement suit against Bayer AG in the U. S. District Court, in Massachusetts, is now fighting the patent of finasteride 1 mg in the U. It is the first time the drug has been marketed under such a name, according to an attorney general's letter to the court that filed the case today.
The lawsuit is filed in Massachusetts and is being filed in California on behalf of the class of men who took finasteride at different doses to treat androgenetic alopecia and to prevent hair loss. It is the first time the company has sued an over-the-counter drug to get FDA approval for use in treating male pattern baldness.
The drug, which was introduced by Merck & Co. in the late 1990s, was developed by Dr. Mark H. Markman. It was developed in an effort to improve a drug that is used to treat male pattern baldness.
"We have not heard of any such use of finasteride by Merck or other pharmaceutical companies," says H. Brent Fosdick, a pharmaceutical and cosmetic surgeon who practices in New York City. "We have never had any such use of finasteride in the world. We do not believe we have any such use of finasteride in the world."
In 1999, the FDA approved the drug for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. It is now marketed under the name Finasteride, the active ingredient in Merck's Propecia. The drug is also approved to treat an enlarged prostate and to prevent hair loss in some cases.
In the case that is now before us, the drug maker, Bayer AG, says that finasteride is not being used for treatment of male pattern baldness, but rather to prevent the receding hairlines from developing. The drug company says it has submitted more than 500 applications to the FDA for approval to treat androgenetic alopecia.
"It is not going to work for people who have prostate problems because they have too much hair on their head, because their hair loss is too severe," says Mr. Fosdick. "It is not going to work for people who have prostate problems."
When FDA's approval is considered a public health threat, the company warns that it will take the risk of treating patients with the drug. That means that the FDA will not have to take such risks for the first time, Mr. Fosdick says. "The FDA will not change its mind about the use of finasteride in treating people with hair loss."
The company's request for approval of the drug is not a first-time application, but it is important to note that the drug's development process is complex and requires careful research and development. Mr. Fosdick says that the company will continue to follow the drug's development process and will be in consultation with the FDA about whether it will be approved. It may be up to the FDA to decide if that is the right decision.
The company's request is part of a larger strategy to avoid unnecessary drug interactions with other medications and drugs that can affect the efficacy and safety of the drug. A recent study published in the British Medical Journal reported that patients who took finasteride in combination with another medication, such as minoxidil, had an increased risk of hair loss.
The study, titled "Clinical Trials with Finasteride and Minoxidil in Combination Therapy for the Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness," showed a significantly higher incidence of side effects from finasteride in comparison with the other three treatments. But the researchers said the drugs had no interaction with the other medications, suggesting that the use of finasteride, while effective in treating male pattern baldness, may have some adverse effects.
The study, led by Dr. Steven Nissen, a urologist at the Cleveland Clinic's Cleveland Clinic, involved more than 100,000 patients with male pattern baldness and an enlarged prostate, which is known as the "male pattern" or pattern. In the study, patients were randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups: 1) a placebo group, which was also known as a "free-drug" group; 2) a drug group which was not known to be taken; or 3) a combination drug group. The patients were also given either a combination drug, such as finasteride 1 mg, or a drug that was known to be taken with other medications, such as the oral contraceptive pill (Oculist) or a combination drug that was known to be taken with the oral contraceptive pill (Propecia).
