I understand what you’ve said about side effects from Propecia taking a few weeks to go away because of tissue fixation. But what if the patient has been taking Propecia for a long time, such as 10 years? Would it take several months for side effects to go away in your opinion?
Tissue fixation is a few week phenomenon. Some men talk about the disappearance of side effects in a week or less, and some talk about side effects lasting up to a month. I can not comment on what to expect.
what? “tissue fixation”? tissue fixation is when you stabilize tissue sample (usually with paraffin) in order to inspect it on the microscope, what kind of “tissue fixation” phenomenon that takes weeks, are you talking about?
