피나스트리드가 2% 정도 사람들에게 성욕감퇴, 정액량 감소등과 같은
부작용을 나타낸다고 알려져 있지만, 5알파 환원 효소를 억제함으로써
결과적으로 남성 호르몬이 14% 가량 증가하게 되어, 얼굴에 기름기가
증가하거나, 성욕 및 성기능이 증가하거나, 여드름이 나게 되는 경우도
있다고 하는군요. 과거에도 어떤 분들은 성욕이 더 증가하는 것 같다고
하는 글들을 올리셨는데, 그런 류의 부작용도 있는 것 같네요.

Brian asked: "I started taking propecia about 3 weeks ago. I was worried about the side effects, but I was quite surprised when my sex drive increased instead of decreased. I dont mean it just increased by a little either, my sex drive has increased by like 400%. Have you ever seen this happen before? Is it possible that if I continue taking propecia it will begin to negatively affect my sex drive?"
Dr Peter H. Proctor, PhD MD answered: "Propecia causes a reflex increase in both testosterone levels and androgen sensitivity. Apparently, sometimes this is powerful enough that it causes paradoxical hyperandrogenic symptoms involving tissues that are not dependent upon type-2 5 AR ( which finasteride inhibits ). These included increased skin oiliness, increased libido, and acne flares. Peter H. Proctor, PhD, MD
