I'm a 30-year-old guy and my hair's been thinning out with some mild bald spots showing up. My dermatologist recommended I take Finax 1 Tablet once every day, but I've heard it could have sexual side effects. Could you tell me if these side effects are common or if they might cause problems with family planning in the future? I'm a bit concerned about how it could impact me sexually as time goes on. Would love to hear your thoughts.

No the dose that you are prescribed with is low and ideal dose no need to worry follow your doctors advice and consume biotin rich foods

I'm currently taking isotretinoin capsules, 20 mg per day, and was wondering if it's safe to use benzoyl peroxide on my skin at the same time. I've heard about potential issues or reactions but I'm not really sure. Could this combination cause any problems, and should I be worried about any side effects?

yes
