Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Finpecia is a good treatment for hair loss.
It is true that there are side effects like loss of sexual desire.
However these side effects are temporary.
You can take this tablet safely for 3 months.
Else you can go for an alternative of this, saw palmetto tablets.
Let me know if you have any other doubt.
you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
