You are strongly advised to talk with your doctor about whether Propecia is right for you and discuss the daily dosage.

Precautions. Propecia is approved by US Food and Drug Administration and has regular precautions as with every finasteride-containing medications. As far as finasteride is metabolized extensively in the liver, Propecia should be taken with caution by patients suffering from liver diseases.

Because of the possible risk to a male fetus, women should never handle crushed or broken Propecia pills during pregnancy. Propecia has shown no interactions of clinical importance with other drugs.

Any Side Effects? Side effects are uncommon and don’t affect most men. A small number of men may experience some sexual side effects, including reduced libido and/or a decreased amount of semen. In clinical studies these side effects occurred in less than 2% of men and went away immediately upon discontinuation of treatment.
