Side effect of oral finasteride
Hi all,
I'm nearly 44 years old and have started to be affected by the hair loss curse (suppose I have been pretty fortunate so far).
After watching an episode of the The Hair Loss Show, I decided to bite the bullet and take a generic oral finasteride.
I have taken one every odd day for around a week, and noticed slightly worrying side effects (orgasms are muted and I feel really drowsy).
I looked into PFS and that really concerned me too.
Is this something to worry about? Can I take oral finasteride once a week and still get some benefit?
After doing some research, it seems topical finasteride can cause the same side effects too, though I may have been misled.
This is a real shame, as minoxidil and finasteride seem to be the most effective treatments.
Any thoughts and input seriously appreciated.

I would quit the oral fina. F8ck that. I suggest a topical finasteride https://actifolic.com/product/topical-fina/
use it twice a week and then evaluate. I would also use minox with it

Thanks for the link. I will definitely order that.
I'm currently using Regaine once a day too. I started that around a week ago.
Stay safe, bud.

Yeah, i feel when i ger side effects from using too much topical finasteride, i can just quit using it for 4-5 days and feel completely normal again. Can't imagine that would work when you pop 1 mg fina per day.
No problem, glad to help

Hey!
Is the topical finasteride as efficient as oral finasteride?
