Questions about finasteride

I’m wanting to start taking fin but I have a couple of questions on my mind if you don’t mind answering. I have an inconsistent sleep schedule. Would there be much of an issue if my pill taking is not spot on 24 hours? If for example I take 1mg at 12pm and then the next day 1mg at 10am and the following day 1mg at 11am, would that be fine?

My other question is if side effects are obvious or do I need to be searching for them? I’m thinking a lot of the sides i’ve read about would be obvious so I don’t need to stress about looking for anything bad.

Finasteride can be taken anytime during the day. Just so you don’t forget to take it, I generally recommend that patients take it in the morning when they wake up. If you get the sexual side effects, you will know in many ways.  First, you might lose interest in women, won’t get an erection in the morning if that is your usual routine or the erection you do get is not hard as it usually is.  You will know if you have the side effects because men focus on their penis, often too much (according to some women) but that is our hormones telling us to procreate.
