My understanding is that the excess testosterone can be converted to estrogen through a process called aromatization. This higher level of estrogen leads to side effects experienced by some men, ie sexual issues and gynomastia...The solution is to lower the dosage of Propecia. According to studies, down to 1/4 tab per day is still somewhat effective. Also, various aromtase blockers/inhibitors might help. There include, but are not limited to Zinc, B6, Aspirin, Chysin, Arimidix, etc. Do some reading on this before taking a bunch of stuff though...Good luck!

Clinical studies showed that side effects were uncommon and did not affect most men. However, a small number of men had sexual side effects, with each occurring in less than 2% of men.

Some patients affirm they don't have any side effects with Propecia or Avordart. Not everyone responds the same to medications. The only way to know if your husband will have side effects will be if he tastes the water first. Very Happy
