Dear Doctor, I am getting the treatment for hair loss . I have been prescribed ,zydip lotion in the morning , mintop lotion 10% at night and DUTE ( Dutasteride tablet )0.5 mg daily once at night. As i have found out that use of dutasteride has side effects like low libido and erectile dysfunction . Is it very necessary to take dutasteride ? Are the side effects i mentioned can be reversed ?
