Product details
What is Finasteride?
Finasteride is a prescription medication used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It works by blocking the hormone responsible for hair loss in men, 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.
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.
Who cannot use Finasteride?
It is not recommended for:
- Women of any age (because this medicine is for men)
- Males under the age of 18 years old
- Men who are allergic (hypersensitive) to finasteride or any of the other ingredients of this medicine
- Men currently being treated with other medication for benign prostate hyperplasia
- Men who have obstructive uropathy
- Men whose hair loss may due to another condition e.g cancer and chemotherapy
- Men who are trying to get their partner pregnant. It is possible that a small amounts of finasteride may be present in the semen of males who are taking it. It is unknown whether this could affect a male foetus of the mother who is exposed to it.

Benefits of Finasteride
1. Clinically Proven to Stop Hair Loss
Studies show that 9 out of 10 men who use Finasteride experience a halt in hair loss, with many seeing regrowth in as little as 3-6 months.
2. Promotes Thicker, Fuller Hair
Finasteride works to restore hair density, improving the appearance of thinning areas.
3. Easy to Use
A simple, once-daily Finasteride tablet fits effortlessly into your routine.
4. Long-Term Results
Continued use of Finasteride provides ongoing protection against hair loss, helping you maintain your results.
How quickly will Finasteride work?
When starting on Finasteride, patience is key. Most men who take it for male pattern baldness begin to see the effects of Finasteride within 3 to 6 months of daily use. Finasteride works by reducing DHT levels, which helps revitalise affected hair follicles, leading to healthier hair growth. You might first notice a slowing of hair loss before significant hair regrowth becomes apparent. Full benefits, including preventing complete hair loss, are usually seen after 12 months of usage. If you stop taking Finasteride, any gains in hair growth and prevention of hair loss will likely reverse within a year, potentially leading to complete hair loss in treated areas.
How to take Finasteride
Taking Finasteride is simple: take one tablet (specifically a 1mg tablet) once daily, with or without food. Consistency is vital, so try to take it at the same time each day. Never change your dose of Finasteride without professional advice. Finasteride is an oral tablet to be swallowed whole. If you miss a 1mg tablet, simply take your next one as usual; do not take a double dose. To ensure continued hair growth and to prevent hair loss, continue taking Finasteride 1mg as prescribed.
Patient Information
Clinically Proven Hair Loss Treatment Tablets
Finasteride is a well-researched medication for male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), with numerous clinical trials demonstrating its effectiveness in halting hair loss and promoting regrowth.
Key Clinical Trial Findings:
One of the foundational studies, the Finasteride Male Pattern Hair Loss Study Group trial, provided significant insights into its efficacy:
Study Details: Conducted over two years, this study involved 1553 men aged 18 to 41 with male pattern hair loss. Participants received either 1 mg of oral finasteride daily or a placebo.
Results:
- Finasteride treatment led to a significant improvement in scalp hair compared to placebo at both 1 and 2 years.
- Specifically, there was a clinically notable increase in hair count (107 and 138 hairs versus placebo at 1 and 2 years, respectively) in a measured balding area.
- In contrast, men in the placebo group experienced progressive hair loss.
- Patient and investigator assessments, along with photographic reviews, confirmed that finasteride slowed hair loss, increased hair growth, and improved overall hair appearance.
Source: For more details, you can refer to the study abstract on PubMed: Finasteride in the treatment of men with androgenetic alopecia.
Broader Clinical Effectiveness:
Beyond specific trials, aggregated data from various studies further supports Finasteride's efficacy:
- Hair Loss Halted: Studies indicate that finasteride can halt hair loss for approximately 9 out of 10 men.
- Hair Regrowth: Over two years of daily use, studies show that finasteride halts hair loss for 83% of men, and 66% experience hair regrowth.
- After five years, finasteride can help prevent further hair loss for as many as 90% of men.
- Timeline: Most men begin to observe noticeable effects after 3 to 6 months of consistent daily use.
- Optimal Use: Finasteride is generally most effective for mild to moderate hair loss on the crown or top of the head caused by male pattern baldness, with less evidence for significantly reversing a receding hairline.

These clinical findings underscore Finasteride's role as an effective treatment option for men experiencing male pattern baldness.
Finasteride vs Propecia
When discussing hair loss treatment for male pattern baldness, Finasteride and Propecia are often confused. Finasteride is the active ingredient, while Propecia is a specific brand name containing this 1mg active ingredient. Both Propecia and Finasteride contain a 1mg dose and work identically to slow down hair loss and encourage hair regrowth by inhibiting DHT. The main difference lies in the branding prices. Generic Finasteride is often more affordable than the Propecia brand, as it doesn't carry the same development costs. Both Finasteride and Propecia are highly effective for hair loss, making either a solid choice for preventing hair loss. Choosing generic Finasteride still means getting a proven hair loss treatment.
