I've been taking Adgain tabs for a while now to help with my hair health, but I'm beginning to wonder how long it's safe to continue them. Could there be any negative side effects on my overall health if I keep using these supplements? I'm a bit concerned and want to make sure I'm not doing any harm to my body.

Adgain tablets are typically safe for long-term use to improve hair health. However, it is important to follow the recommended dosage as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm 26 and currently not married. A doctor gave me a prescription for Finalo tablets and Morre 5 lotion, and I've been hearing about possible side effects from Finalo, especially concerning impotence. I'm curious, if that happens, is it something that can be reversed after I'm done with the treatment?

No need to worry low dose of finasteride would not cause impotency and it's reversible if at all you face issues.
