The biggest fear men have when starting a hair loss protocol is sexual side effects from finasteride or dutasteride. It's a legitimate concern, but the actual data is very different from what most people believe.
The largest recent study showed the side effect rate for finasteride was only 1.7% above placebo. That translates to one or two people out of a hundred, and in most cases those side effects resolve within one to three years.
If you're still concerned, there's a straightforward option. Add tadalafil (generic Cialis) at 5 mg daily. Andrew Huberman recently covered this in depth. Tadalafil is being adopted by elite athletes for reasons that go well beyond sexual health. It's been shown to reduce Alzheimer's risk, support cardiovascular function, and act as a general biohack for the body. And in the context of hair loss, taking 5 mg of tadalafil alongside a DHT blocker essentially eliminates the risk of sexual side effects. In many cases, users report better sexual health than they had before starting the protocol.
So Adegen is safe, and the risk profile of the associated medications is far lower than the internet would have you believe.
