I consulted a doctor for my male pattern baldness issue. He prescribed me minoxidil topical serum & finasteride 1 mg tab & also warned me about the side effects of finasteride. I searched for this drug which scared me of. There are chances it can permanently damage my sexual life. I'm a single but sexually active man & soon going to marry. Should I consume finasteride or Not? From what I searched this drug remains in the body for a very long period which is my real concern. Please guide me.
