Product details

What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is a prescription medication used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It works by blocking the hormone responsible for hair loss, allowing hair to regrow and reducing further thinning.

Clinically Proven Results: Shown to stop hair loss in 90% of men and promote regrowth in 65%.


Convenient Daily Tablet: Taken once daily for effective results.


Prescription-Only Medication: Safe and regulated for use under a healthcare provider's guidance.

How Does Finasteride Work?

Finasteride targets the root cause of male pattern baldness by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that shrinks hair follicles. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride allows hair follicles to recover, promoting regrowth and preventing further hair loss.

Blocks DHT Production: Targets the hormone responsible for hair thinning.


Supports Regrowth: Stimulates thicker, fuller hair.


Prevents Further Loss: Protects existing hair follicles.
