Can Minscalp Cause Impotence?
Hi,I was asked to use minscalp by a dermatologist.It has shown good results.But when i went through the internet,there were incidents where propecia which contained finasteride when taken orally caused impotency.I wonder whether minscalp which contains finasteride which is directly applied onto the scalp would cause the same?

Finasteride does not cause impotency but may cause decrease libido and sometime erectile dysfunction and this could be reversible once the therapy stops this gets normal local application of this drug may not have the same side effects take care
