Finasteride

Finasteride is an oral medication used to treat hair loss in men. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for hair loss. It is often prescribed to men with hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and helps reduce further hair loss and promote new hair growth.

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone into DHT. By lowering the DHT level in the scalp, it prevents damage to the hair follicles, leading to less hair loss and increased hair growth.

Take one 1 mg Finasteride tablet daily, preferably at the same time. It can be taken with or without food. Consistent use is important to maintain effectiveness.

Studies show that Finasteride reduces hair loss in more than 80% of men and stimulates new hair growth in about 65%. The first results are usually visible after 3-6 months of consistent use, with maximum effect after 12 months. However, the medication only works as long as you continue using it.

If you stop using Finasteride, hair loss usually returns to its original level within 6-12 months. To maintain the results, it is important to continue using the medication consistently.

In rare cases, prescription medications may cause side effects, such as: Decreased libido Scaly scalp Hair growth on other parts of the body These side effects only occur in a small number of users. For a complete overview, see the package insert.
