Propecia inhibits the conversion of testosterone, resulting in increased estrogen.
Millions of men have used it since the 1990s, but it has been linked to sexual problems such as impotence, loss of libido and 'genital shrinkage' as well as cognitive impairment, or 'brain fog,' which McKee believes he also suffered.
Lawsuits filed in 27 states by men who say the wonder drug screwed up their sexuality have been linked together in Brooklyn federal court.
A spokesman for Merck, the drug’s maker, said, 'No causal relationship has been established between Propecia and persistent sexual side effects.'
Brooklyn attorney Marc Grossman, whose firm represents more than 300 former Propecia users, said many had breast growth.
He also said animal studies on Propecia showed an increased propensity for homosexuality.
Grossman estimates that more than 1,500 Propecia users will come forward but added, 'Many men are embarrassed to reveal their problems to anyone, including their doctors, so thousands more will go on living with the condition in private.'
