New Propecia Lawsuit on Failure to Warn of Side Effects
AttorneyOne.com, a recognized authority on law, updated the website recently and is now actively providing expert opinion in view of the recent news on Propecia Side Effects lawsuits.
According to court documents, on February 5th, 2013 an Illinois man filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania Eastern District Court (case no. 2:2013cv00659) alleging that Propecia can lead to serious side effects such as sexual dysfunction.
Propecia is a pill, manufactured by Merck, for use in males only and indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss.
It was approved by the FDA in 1997. In the lawsuit plaintiff claims that Merck knew or should have known that Propecia contributes to an increased risk of side effects including depression, cognitive impairment and erectile dysfunction.
As Merck & Co reported on November 9th, 2012 approximately 265 lawsuits, involving a total of approximately 415 plaintiffs, have been filed as of September 30th, 2012 alleging persistent sexual side effects following cessation of treatment with Propecia (data published via the US Securities and Exchange Commission).
Taking into consideration the latest developments, AttorneyOne.com updated the website and, now, can actively provide an expert opinion including how to get in contact with legal counsel easily and inexpensively in case of alleged Propecia severe complications.

On October 8th, 2012, a man filed a lawsuit in New York Eastern District Court (case no. 1:2012cv05030) alleging sexual dysfunction and cognitive impairment after taking Propecia. Symptoms continued even after he stopped taking Propecia.
