Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Finesteride is completely safe as long as you use it under a doctor's supervision and guidance. It is a prescription drug, so self medication is deifinitely not advised. Finesteride has some sexual side effects but these are not commonly seen and are more frequent with higher doses of finesteride( 5mg). For hair loss we use finesteride 1mg. Also these side effects are completely reversible. So if at all a person develops any ill effect( which is uncommonly seen), it can be reversed by stopping the medicine.
Hope this helped.
