Side Effects
Propecia has been known to cause allergic reactions in some patients, with notable symptoms including swelling of he face, lips, tongue, or throat, and difficult breathing. Breast lumps, pain, and changes to the breast area have also been noted as side effects. Other side effects include pain in the testicles, possible impotence, dizziness, abnormal ejaculation, and skin rashes.

This medication should be taken exactly as prescribed. Using Propecia for longer than recommended, or in larger doses than prescribed, may cause harmful side effects. If instructions are not provided by the doctor, there are directions on the prescription label. This should be taken with a full glass of water, but may be taken with or without food.
