My wife is 7 months pregnant. Two weeks ago I started taking finasteride 1 mg to battle hairloss. Last night me and my wife had intercourse and I ejaculated in her vagina. Could this have been harmful to the baby?

Its not recommended for use during pregnancy as it can harm the developing fetus. Finasteride may cause abnormalities in the male genitalia of a male fetus if a woman is exposed to the medication during pregnancy. But the presence of finasteride in semen is likley to be low. Kindly consult a gynecologist asap.
