Hello
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Finax or Finasteride is very good drug in cases of androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). It is a drug which inhibits enzyme 5 alfa reductase, which convert testosterone to its active form.
So when this drug is taken for long time it may cause sexual disfunction because of decreased testosterone active metabolites. Various side effects as impotence, erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia, poor libido, poor ejeculation etc are seen.
In various studies it has been found that the sexual side effects caused by finasteride are persistent and take long time to resolve. But they are not fully irreversible.
Best can be done is stop taking medicine in consultation with your dermatologist, take Biotin supplements, if at present your are having serious side effects then for some time you can use Sildenafil or Tadalafil.

Hello again

It might be just due to psychological causes or stress due to hair transplantation. And if you are having this problem it will be resolved with in 5 days.
The other medicines you have mentioned are vitamin supplements, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics. They don't cause side effect of impotence. There are no major serious side effects with these drugs.
Please continue taking biotin for long, as it helps in hair growth.

If you have more queries you can ask again, and if satisfied with my answer please rate.

Hello again

No the poor sexual desire is not due to drug. In only two days of drug therapy there are practically zero chances of sexual side effect and if you have mild form of side effect it will improve with in a week.

There are no chances of impotency. Please don't take undue stress as it will further potentiate the problem.

Hello again

Only long term treatment usually over one year can cause erectile dysfunction and other sexual side effects that too in about 0.5-10% of persons taking it. As you tool medicine for only two days, I want to reassure that the poor erection in you is not due to Finasteride. So please don't take undue tension as it will further potentiate the problem. Still as you have some problem so for some time you can use-
- Sildenafil or Viagra for some days
- If you are not active in sex at present then you can use Tantax Forte for some days. It will help to improve libido and in the mean time your problem will improve.

I am again reassuring you that the problem is not due to Finasteride and the problem is most likely Psychological.

Thanks
Dr. Seikhoo Bishnoi, MD
