Finasteride is a prescription medication designed to treat male pattern baldness by targeting dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair follicle shrinkage.
Sold under brand names like Propecia and its generic form, Finasteride is available in 1mg daily for hair loss treatment. Unlike topical treatments, Finasteride works at the hormonal level and addresses male pattern baldness at its root cause.
Male pattern baldness happens when DHT attaches to hair follicles, gradually shortening the hair growth cycle. This leads to finer and shorter hair until hair follicles stop producing new hair.
Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme responsible for turning testosterone in DHT, effectively blocking DHT production. This allows hair follicles to stay active and produce thicker, healthier strands.
Men who take Finasteride consistently may see a noticeable reduction in hair loss in as few as three to six months. Regrowth in thinning areas is also possible.
Many men experience better regrowth when using both treatments together. Talk with your doctor to determine the best option for you.
