Thanks a lot for your inputs. My brother has a follow up query. What will be the consequence if I continue for 3 years and then stop ? What will be the side effects on Genital organs? Heart ? Brain ? Skin ? He heard using such medicines might have a negative effect on Genitals, Heart, Brain and Skin. That's the reason of his worry and for this follow up question.
