Finasteride
150mg
Male pattern baldness, also called androgenic alopecia, is the most common type of hair loss in men. Men with this condition can begin suffering hair loss as early as their teens or early 20s. It’s characterized by a receding hairline and gradual disappearance of hair from the crown and frontal scalp.
The main cause of male pattern baldness is the conversion of Testosterone to a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) via the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase. It’s this DHT that can shrink your hair follicles as well as shorten the hair growth cycle, causing the hair that grows out to look thinner and fall out faster. DHT can also make it take longer for your follicles to grow new hairs once the old hairs fall out.
Finasteride 1mg is an oral tablet, prescription medicine that is FDA approved to treat male pattern baldness. At a higher strength of 5mg, Finasteride is FDA approved to treat BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia).
Finasteride belongs to a group of drugs called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. It works by blocking the conversion of Testosterone to DHT by up to 70% and therefore lowers DHT levels in the body and at the scalp. Lowering DHT will allow your hair to start the process of growing back.
Results will begin appearing after 3-4 months but significant results may not be apparent for 6-9 months after starting the medication. Full results are usually seen approximately 1 year after starting treatment with Finasteride and using the medication on a daily basis. Patients who skip treatment days, weeks, or months may find that the medication does not work as effectively and does not produce the results they were expecting.
Finasteride comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without food. Take Finasteride at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully. Take Finasteride exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
If you forget to take your daily dose of Finasteride, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
Finasteride is a medication primarily used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenic alopecia) and enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). Like any medication, it can have potential side effects. The most common side effects of Finasteride include:
It’s important to note that not everyone experiences these side effects, and most people tolerate Finasteride well. If you are prescribed Finasteride, your healthcare provider will monitor your progress and discuss any potential side effects with you. If you notice any troubling side effects while taking Finasteride, it is crucial to discuss them with your doctor as soon as possible.
