Negligent FDA approves a drug that can probably cause PFS

Unread post by Brain food »

This is another example of how unbelievably negligent the FDA is. They approved this new drug called ENTADFI, which is basically a combination of tadalafil and finasteride. Tadalafil is a generic medication for erectile dysfunction, similar to viagra and it is also approved for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The company behind ENTADFI, Veru, claims that this drug has fewer sexual side effects than previous treatments for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. How is this any different than just taking a cheap generic drug to try to counteract the ED caused by finasteride? The precise biological reason that Finasteride causes sexual dysfunction is unknown but it probably isn’t caused by constricting the blood vessels that PDE5 inhibitors dilate. Also, the sexual dysfunction caused by Finasteride goes well beyond just erectile dysfunction. I guess that Veru isn’t afraid of lawsuits from patients who develop PFS, if they’re bringing a new Finasteride product to the market. I wonder what the official warning language will be or how it will be priced compared to these two generic medications.
