Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. It is true that finasteride has side effects like erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. You can stop taking it if you are getting such problems or anxious about getting it. You can use capixyl gel locally instead of that also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
