See below: When used as directed: 1) Topical minoxidil 5%: generally well-tolerated and safe for long-term use. Side effects infrequent: scalp irritation most common. 2) Finasteride 1 mg: generally well-tolerated and safe for long-term use. More potential for side effects: decreased libido and ejaculation, ED, breast tenderness, very rarely “post-finasteride syndrome.” 3) Glutathione: well-tolerated and safe
