Finasteride is an Oral antiandrogen and is specific treatment for androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride is safe and approved for androgenetic alopecia and there are no long term sexual side effects.
It may have transient side effects on libido and sexual drive in just 1-2% of individuals who take finasteride but these side effects are temporary and are usually not a problem with continued treatment.
Moreover these side effects are completely reversible on discontinuation of treatment.
TUGAIN AND MX SOLUTION are also essentially the same i.e minoxidil and it has no sexual side effects.
