Finasteride

A Prescription Option for Managing Male Pattern Hair Loss

A Prescription Option for Managing Male Pattern Hair Loss

Finasteride is commonly prescribed for male pattern hair loss and is intended for long-term use under medical supervision. It may help slow further hair thinning by addressing one of the underlying hormonal contributors to hair loss. Results, timelines, and outcomes vary by individual.

Finasteride

Hair Loss Treatment

Hair loss affects more than just appearance

Hair loss is a common condition that can develop gradually over time. It often begins with subtle changes around the hairline or crown and may progress differently for each individual based on genetics, age, and hormonal factors.

From prostate treatment to hair regrowth

Finasteride was originally studied for other medical uses. During clinical research, its effect on hormones involved in hair follicle miniaturization was observed, leading to its use in managing male pattern hair loss under medical supervision.

Trusted by millions worldwide

Finasteride has been evaluated in multiple clinical studies for androgenetic alopecia. It is commonly prescribed as part of a long-term treatment plan to help slow ongoing hair thinning. Individual response and outcomes vary.

How Finasteride Works

Male pattern hair loss is commonly associated with a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Over time, DHT can contribute to the gradual miniaturization of hair follicles, which may lead to thinner hair strands and reduced hair density in certain areas of the scalp.

Finasteride works by addressing this hormonal pathway under the guidance of a licensed healthcare provider.

Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme involved in converting testosterone into DHT.

By lowering DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride may help limit ongoing follicle miniaturization.

Reducing DHT exposure can help support the health of existing hair follicles over time.

By slowing the underlying process that contributes to thinning, Finasteride may help preserve hair density in affected areas.

The Result

Many individuals use Finasteride as part of a long-term hair loss management plan to help slow shedding and support hair retention. Individual response varies, and continued use as prescribed is typically required.

How to Use Finasteride —

And What You’ll Notice Over Time

Taking Finasteride is straightforward when used as prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider.

How To Take It

Dosage

1 mg oral tablet, once a day

With or Without Food

Finasteride may be taken with or without food. Consistency in daily use is generally recommended.

What to Expect

Finasteride works by addressing an underlying hormonal factor associated with certain types of hair loss. Because hair growth occurs in cycles, changes- if they occur tend to happen gradually and vary from person to person.

Some individuals may notice changes related to hair shedding or hair maintenance over time, while others may experience more subtle effects. Ongoing use as directed by a provider is typically part of long-term hair loss management.

Because hair growth cycles take time, consistency is key.
Stopping the medication can reverse progress, so daily use is critical for long-term results.
