Dark circles under my eyes because of Finasteride.

uSmanali6323Jan 8, 2018

I’m taking finasteride n minoxidil from 2 months but from the last few days noticing dark circles under my eyes, or it always looks like I haven't slept, regardless how long I do sleep. And started to feel sleepy during all the day even after my normal sleep time. Has anyone else had these issues?
