Problems with Propecia? Call the Ohio injury lawyers at Elk & Elk

Elk & Elk’s Ohio injury lawyers are currently investigating cases in which the male pattern baldness drug Propecia® (Finasteride), developed and manufactured by Merck Pharmaceuticals, is the root of serious sexual dysfunction and loss of libido in men who take or have taken it.

A study released in the March edition of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, and which one drug recall attorney after another will likely soon be citing, has illuminated the fact that, despite Merck’s continued claims that only about two percent of patients taking Propecia suffer sexual side effects, the real numbers far outweigh the company’s estimates. According to the piece, documented sexual side effects fall within 5 – 23 percent. Drug recalls have been initiated over less, yet there has been no official action on the part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Drug recall attorney Art Elk, the firm’s managing partner, said it’s about time Merck steps up to the plate and owns up to its big mistake.

“A man’s sex life is as important as his professional life; his family and is a big factor in his overall self-concept,” Elk said. “For a drug company to downplay the risks to such an important component of an overall good life is negligent – without a doubt.”
