What are the possible side effects of finasteride?
• Stop taking finasteride and seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives). • Other, less serious side effects have been reported but usually resolve with continued treatment. Continue to take finasteride and notify your doctor if you experience • decreased libido (sex drive); • decreased volume of ejaculate; • impotence (trouble getting or keeping an erection); or breast tenderness or enlargement. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
