Hi I am 22 year old male, I have a problem of excess (more than normal) of hair fall from last 5 years but now the density of scalp became very low, so today I consult a nearby dermatologist and he prescribed me dutasteride 0.5 mg per day, I search on net about this medicine and get to know that sexual dysfunction as its side effect. Should I take it or not?

You can definitely take it. Those are very rare side effects plus in most cases it's reversible condition so nothing to worry. These category of medicines are FDA approved for hair loss so pretty safe & effective.
