At an international conference recently it
was discussed in depth about Finasteride and the possible sexual side effects
resulting. It was again concluded that Finasteride is a safe medication and
side effects were mainly dose dependent and went away completely upon ceasing
the medication. It's been noted that recent media reports on the severity and
incidence of side-effects have been extremely overstated and that Finasteride
remains the best option for treating male pattern balding.
In my care, side effects are very uncommon
and a minimal, intermittent dose of the medication is all that is required to
give long term stability of hair loss in most thinning men.
