Hi,

Sexual dysfunctions like decreased libido and erectile dysfunction are important and common side effects of finax. Finax (finasteride) acts by reducing the conversion of testosterone (male sex hormone) into its active form dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotesterone is thought to be responsible for the development of alopecia (male baldness) hence finax is used to treat male baldness.

Since dihydrotestosterone levels return to normal within 4 to 6 weeks after discontinuation of treatment with finax, hence, you will overcome erectile dysfunction 6 weeks after stopping the finax. Besides, you can also take one of the erectile dysfunction drugs like sildenafil or vardenafil to overcome the sexual dysfunction.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
