Clinical Trial Controlled Clinical TrialEvaluation of sexual function in subjects taking finasteride for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
Our practical experience indicates that sexual side-effects in subjects taking finasteride 1 mg (Propecia) for androgenetic alopecia are much less common than reported in the literature. ⋯ The sexual and erectile function of subjects taking finasteride does not significantly differ from that of age-matched controls. This is consistent with the experience of many dermatologists who do not see sexual or erectile dysfunction in patients taking Propecia.
