Finasteride is a prescription-only medicine used to treat male pattern hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is most commonly taken as a 1 mg daily tablet to help reduce hair loss and encourage regrowth in men.
The branded version is Propecia, but generic Finasteride provides the same proven results at a lower cost.
It may also be prescribed off-label for other medical purposes, such as hormonal therapy in transgender women or managing excessive hair growth in women.
Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
High levels of DHT can shrink hair follicles and shorten the hair-growth cycle, leading to gradual thinning and hair loss.
By reducing DHT production, Finasteride helps protect hair follicles, slow down hair loss, and promote new growth.
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a naturally occurring male hormone that contributes to traits such as a deeper voice and body hair.
However, in adulthood, excessive DHT can cause hair-follicle miniaturisation, which leads to male pattern baldness.
Finasteride lowers DHT levels to help prevent further hair loss and maintain existing hair.
In one clinical trial involving 326 participants, daily use of 1 mg Finasteride significantly improved hair density, particularly at the crown and frontal scalp.
Many users also report increased confidence and self-esteem as a result of visible improvement.
Finasteride begins to reduce DHT levels soon after starting treatment, but visible results typically appear after 3 to 6 months of consistent use.
For optimal results, it should be taken daily for at least 6 to 9 months.
If the treatment is stopped, hair loss is likely to resume within several months.
