This question comes from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums

I recently had [tag]blood test[/tag]s done by my doctor’s office and was told I have [tag]low red blood cell[/tag] levels ([tag]anemia[/tag]). My doctor thinks it is caused by the [tag]Propecia[/tag] ([tag]finasteride[/tag]) I take for hair loss. Is this possible? Can Propecia cause low red blood cell levels?

In a past review, a group evaluated approximately 4,000 patients taking Propecia for side effects. The team found that 2 of the 4,000 (0.05%) participants suffered from anemia (low red blood cell/hemoglobin counts). What’s more, these individuals suffered from a specific type of anemia called [tag]aplastic anemia[/tag], which causes a decrease in all bone marrow produced blood cells – white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

The chances are quite slim, but it seems like Propecia could (theoretically) cause low red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts. However, it is difficult to conclusively state that any medical condition could be caused solely by finasteride, and this is why consulting with a trusted physician is extremely important. Remember, any health concerns or possible side effects from medications should be thoroughly discussed and reviewed with the doctor who prescribed the medication. It is best to follow the physician’s advice concerning any medication changes and repeat testing.
