No medicine is 100% safe and has to be taken under the observation of a doctor
You cannot impregnate a woman while on finasteride
A prescription implies you are taking the medicine under observation of your doctor
Only few medicines called OTC medications are allow
Eg minoxidil solution is OTC
But oral minoxidil and minoxidil + finasteride solution are not

Hii .
Finasteride is safe only for short period..
Long term usage have more side effects especially related to sexual and reproductive effects...
As it works related to harmonal imbalances like male testosterone harmone , prescription is mandatory...
Also treatment depends on severity and dose adjustments needed...
Kindly consult on-line for further evaluation and prescription
