Hi. Thanks for posting your concern
Finasteride is a US FDA approved drug for Androgenetic Alopecia. Though it can cause side effects like decreased libido in just 1-2% of the people who are on finasteride but it is a transient and reversible side effect and most people outgrow it on continued treatment with finasteride and on counselling by the doctor.
take care
