A bestselling author has shared a heartbreaking story about how a popular hair loss drug led to the demise of her ex-husband’s sexual function — and their marriage.
Speaking recently on the podcast “Moral Medicine,” Thammika Songkaeo said she noticed they had no love life to speak of while they were still dating.
Her then-boyfriend told her that it was because he had taken Propecia — the brand name of finasteride, which is commonly used to treat hair loss in men. One of the potential side effects is sexual dysfunction.
At the time, she thought it was just a temporary issue — or that it would only be a problem intermittently.
