Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Finasteride is an effective medication in the treatment of male pattern baldness ( hair loss).
This medication causes scalp hair to grow.
But once you stop taking it, the newly grown hair will be lost.

As far as the side effects are concerned, it can cause allergic reactions, decreased sexual desire and sometimes erectile dysfunction.
Hope that answers your question.
