Adverse effects include increased risk of breast and prostate cancer, male infertility, depression, decreased libido, decreased ejaculate volume, impotence, gynecomastia, and orthostatic hypotension. Finasteride is associated with an increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer. Finasteride reduces male hormone activity. Both drugs are known to cause erectile dysfunction in some men.
