While finasteride is safe for most men, it is not suitable for everyone. For some men, it can cause side effects, including sexual dysfunction and lowered serum prostate-specific antigen levels, which increase the risk for certain prostate cancers. Additionally, finasteride is not approved for use in women. If you have any concerns or questions about finasteride or other treatments, be sure to speak with one of our licensed physicians.
