Generic Propecia, available at CVS, like its brand-name counterpart, can cause side effects. These are generally mild and temporary, but awareness is key.
Decreased libido and erectile dysfunction are reported by some users. These effects typically lessen or disappear with continued use or after stopping treatment. If these persist or significantly impact your quality of life, consult your doctor immediately.
Gynecomastia (breast enlargement) is another potential side effect, although less common. It’s usually mild and may resolve on its own. However, it requires medical attention if it causes discomfort or concern.
Skin reactions, such as rash or itching, are possible. Discontinue use and contact your physician if you experience a significant skin reaction.
Propecia can affect sperm production. While usually temporary, men considering fatherhood should discuss this with their healthcare provider.
