Brief Answer:
No effect on libido or potency

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query and i have understood your concern.

No, this treatment will not affect your sexual libido and potency and you may continue these safely.

Unlike finasteride, saw palmetto extract (which is the main active ingredient in these tablets) is said to be devoid of sexual side effects.

please note i had been taking some ayurvedic sexual boosters like shilajit capsures and yovanamrit and ahwagandharisht.can you tell me whether they are responsible for producing DHT and thereby falling hair? should i continue taking these medicines at bedtime? should i apply any other hair oik like schwabs to enhance hair growth. pls prescribe any application oil you recommend and how and when to apply

Brief Answer:
Just use topical minoxidil and Oral tablets; avoid oils

Detailed Answer:
Hi.

These ayurvedic sexual boosters could be responsible for increased hair shedding therefore you may contemplate discontinuing them.
I suggest you to continue with Minoxidil 5% (Tugain), twice daily at scalp skin along with the tablets.
Avoid using hair oil while you are using minoxidil as oil would hamper its absorption into scalp skin and action. Furthermore oils have no particular role in androgenetic alopecia.
