Hello
Thanks for query .
You have been taking Finax (Finasteride) and Minoxidal for hair loss and facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction since last 2 months .

Fineatsride is drug that belongs to a class of drug called 5 alpha reductase inhibitors which prevents conversion of Testosterone in to Dihydro Testosterone which is the main hormone involved in sexual functions like libido ,erection and Ejaculation

Finasteride taken for a long period of time is known to have side effect of Erectile Dysfunction .loss of libido and reduced ejaculation .

There are plenty of research papers on this subject and it has been proved that in majority of patients Erectile functions will resume to normal within 3-6 months after discontinuation of drug...
