Greetings, I've Been Prescribed Morr F 5% Topical Solution Which

Greetings,

I've been prescribed Morr F 5% topical solution which contains 5% Minoxidil and 0.1% Finasteride for treating initial stages of hair loss (alopecia) and have been applying the same for the past 4 months . I’m aware of the reported adverse side effects of Finasteride on sexual health and hence I’m gravely concerned about continuing to use the solution inspite of visible positive hair re-growth. I was given to understand that the side effects are reported on consumption of oral finasteride but I was surprised to find that the information booklet included in the Morr F 5% box spells out that topical application can also result in the aforesaid side effects.

Could you kindly advise whether topical application of finasteride contained in the Morr F 5% solution can also lead to adverse side effects on sexual health? And in case of side effects, if any, are they found to be long lasting or permanent?

Thank you.
