I'm 21 years old and dealing with hair fall issues. I've heard about taking finasteride 1mg but only on alternate days. Do you think it's safe? I'm a bit worried about any potential side effects it might have on my sexual life. Can you shed some light on this?

I've been dealing with rashes, itching, and kharish recently. I've been taking Tazloc 40 in the morning and Clopitab CV20 and Dilzem CD120 in the evening for my heart condition.
