Dutasteride for hair loss/hair fall

A trichologist prescribed DUMAN /dutasteride to control hairfall also told that may need to take long term. Along with this Minoxidil 10% is also given. My question is if long term how long would the patient need to take this medicine “DUMAN”? Are there any side effects? A known lady friend told me that she took it when prescribed by a doctor and once she stopped it her all effects were reversed. Kindly clarify if there are side effects. Also when the medication will be stopped will it give any reverse effects. The patient doesn't have any medical issue, is absolutely fit doesn't consume any junk food.All Blood reports are normal too. Only iron is low for which she is taking tab as prescribed. Thank you in advance
