Hair loss drugs linked with erectile dysfunction
Conclusion
This review confirms what is already known, that 5α-reductase inhibitors (5α-RIs) increase risk of erectile dysfunction.
However, it also shows that even the low-dose formulation of finasteride taken by younger men for male pattern baldness is associated with increased risk.

It occurred in around one in 31 young men exposed – but the vast majority of cases resolved after stopping the drug.

Trump Takes Propecia, A Hair-Loss Drug Associated With Mental Confusion, Impotence
In a snicker-worthy disclosure by President Donald Trump’s longtime personal physician, readers of The New York Times learned Thursday that the leader of the free world takes a small daily dose of the drug finasteride ― otherwise known as Propecia ― which is used to treat male-pattern baldness.
The revelation by Dr. Harold N. Bornstein that the president uses a prostate-related drug to grow scalp hair was not previously known publicly, according to the Times story, and appears to explain why Trump has a very low level of prostate specific antigen, or PSA, a marker sometimes us...
