A 28 -year -old man has revealed a nine -month struggle with a popular hair loss drug, describing the mostly sexual side effects that caused his life upside down.
He says the symptoms worsened the symptoms after leaving it.
Speaking in the podcast “Moral Medicine”, a man passing through Chirag said he was living the good life before beginning to appear in Finasteride in June 2023 to deal with hair loss.
He met friends who had been there for years without problems, and most of the Internet investigations that he did so indicated that post-tuning syndrome (PFS) (a condition in which someone undergoes severe side effects after stopping finasteride). “It wasn’t real.”
He acquired the medication through His, claiming that the Telehealth company “gives it as candy, there is no process for it.” The post contacted His to comment.
“I didn’t know what I was doing,” Chirag said.
He took a pill one day before starting to experiment with side effects, most of which were sexual, so he decided to stop taking the drug and, in a few weeks, he was normal again.
He did some more investigations, at which point he made the “enormous mistake” of deciding that he had simply been taking a too high dose.
“I feel as if there was more education related to this, I could have been saved from this syndrome,” he said.
After having dose, he realized that he was no longer erected in the morning, so he suspended the use in January 2024.
Three months later, he experienced a “sharp and burning pain” in his pelvic area, a symptom that intermittently persisted for months before going.
He suddenly experienced a “crazy libido”, so it had just taken six months to have the drug from his system.
Then, on July 9, “something has just turned off,” he said. “I was literally helpless for three weeks.”
And then things really turned worse.
“One month later, I started doing -Mad insomnia; literally, I didn’t sleep for 10 days in a row,” he said. “It was hell. I was scarce.”
He also experienced severe muscle weight and loss, his “genitalia changed”, and pelvic pain returned with revenge, making it unable to “sit properly”.
He saw a Urologist, who seemed to be of PFS, but prescribed Cialis and told him to see a specialist in Pelviis flats.
He changed his diet and began physical therapy, which seemed to help with sexual dysfunction and muscle loss, and then fell again.
“I feel like I have gone back fully,” he said. “My bones are crazy, which is scary … I can’t go back to sleep … I have these eruptions that come to my skin … and sexual function has been regressed.”
“Every month, I feel there is a new side effect,” he added. “Has really changed my life completely.”
Chirag was interviewed by Mark Millich, the podcast host, who made headlines last month, saying -at the Wall Street Journal that he experienced weakening side effects after buying Finasteride through HIPS.
Some of the side effects included anxiety, dizziness, and slender speech. His sexual driving also fell and his genitals declined and changed in shape.
“Thirty years that this medicine has been on the market and people have been treating this time all this time and nothing has been done,” Millich said to the podcast. “There are no longer excuses for the medical system. This is annoying.”
Last week, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a warning about topical finasterid products distributed by Telehealth companies, citing several reports of adverse events such as erectile dysfunction, anxiety, suicidal ideation, brain mist, depression, fatigue, insomnia, decrease in libido and testicular pain.
The warning is specifically addressed to a finastery spray formulation, the active ingredient is also found in the own oral medicine.
The FDA said that these topical versions have not received official approval and that no comprehensive security data have been sent.
Telehealth companies have also been subjected to fires because they have not been able to select their customers for medicines to promote the product, as well as not to inform them properly of the possible side effects of the drug.
None of the 17 Telehealth male customers talked about WSJ who reported serious side effects that they were properly informed of risks.
A spokesman for Hims said at the exit to his clients “going through a complete intake that reviews a license provider that has a clinical determination on the eligibility of the patient for medication” and that the company communicates “on all essential details and security information”.
As for Chirag? “I just want my life to return,” he said.
