The European Medicines Agency said it would recommend whether the marketing authorizations for the drugs should be withdrawn, suspended or maintained across the region following its review

The European drugs regulator said on Friday it was reviewing anti hair-loss drugs, including Organon ’s Propecia and its generic versions, over the risks of suicidal thoughts.

Oral anti-baldness drugs called finasteride and dutasteride have a known risk of psychiatric side effects. Finasteride, branded as Propecia, already comes with warnings about the risk of suicidal thoughts.
