About that hair growth pill Trump has taken

Raw Story, 2012 - Two Merck drugs for treating male baldness and enlarged prostate will now carry extended labels to add more possible sexual side effects, US regulators said.

The changes involve Propecia and Proscar, both of which contain the active ingredient finasteride, after patients reported additional adverse effects that were not apparent at the time of the drugs’ approval, the US Food and Drug Administration said.

The new Propecia label will include “libido disorders, ejaculation disorders, and orgasm disorders that continued after discontinuation of the drug,” the FDA said. Propecia is a drug to treat male baldness.

In addition, both labels are being revised to “include a description of reports of male infertility and/or poor semen quality that normalized or improved after drug discontinuation,” the FDA said.
