Finasteride Tablet
Finasteride 1mg is a once-daily oral tablet, physician-prescribed for male pattern hair loss. It works by blocking the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which cuts scalp DHT — the hormone that shrinks follicles — by roughly 70%. Most patients notice reduced shedding within 3 to 6 months and more visible density between months 6 and 12. Reviewed and prescribed by a U.S. licensed physician; shipped from a licensed pharmacy.

- 01
The DHT problem
Male pattern hair loss is driven by DHT, a testosterone byproduct that shrinks hair follicles. Finasteride blocks the 5-alpha reductase enzyme responsible for that conversion, cutting scalp DHT by roughly 70% in most patients.
- 02
Hair grows on a slow clock
Most patients notice reduced shedding within 3 to 6 months and more visible density between 6 and 12 months. Consistency matters more than dose — one tablet a day is the whole regimen.
- 03
Physician guided
A U.S. licensed physician reviews your intake before prescribing and stays available for questions. Finasteride isn't right for everyone — a small percentage of patients experience sexual side effects, and your physician will help decide if it's a fit.

Questions
About Finasteride Tablet
If your question isn't here, your physician is one message away after you start your intake.
Finasteride is a prescription medication commonly used to treat male pattern hair loss. It works by lowering levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone linked to follicle shrinkage and hair thinning. The dose used for hair loss is 1mg once daily, taken by mouth.
Finasteride blocks 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. In genetically susceptible men, DHT shrinks scalp follicles over time. Lowering DHT protects those follicles, may slow ongoing loss, and can help thicken existing hair.
Adult men with androgenic alopecia — gradual thinning at the crown, temples, or receding hairline — are the primary candidates. A physician evaluation and history review help determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.
Finasteride is not for women who are or may become pregnant, since it can affect fetal development. Certain medical conditions or medication interactions may also require caution. Discuss your full history with your physician.
Hair grows on a slow clock. Most patients notice reduced shedding within 3 to 6 months and fuller, more visible density between 6 and 12 months. Consistency matters more than dose.
If you stop, scalp DHT gradually returns to prior levels and hair loss can resume. Many patients continue treatment long term to maintain their results.
Most men tolerate finasteride well. A small percentage report decreased libido, changes in ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, or mild breast tenderness. Report persistent or concerning symptoms to your physician.
Finasteride has decades of clinical use and is considered safe for many patients when appropriately prescribed and monitored. Long-term follow-up helps assess effectiveness and overall health.
Yes. Many patients use both together because they work through different mechanisms — finasteride blocks DHT while minoxidil improves scalp blood flow and extends the growth phase. Combination therapy may improve outcomes.
Some men on Testosterone Replacement Therapy also use finasteride to manage DHT-related hair loss concerns. Hormone levels and overall health should be monitored, and comprehensive bloodwork guides the plan.
Finasteride lowers DHT specifically, not testosterone. Total testosterone typically stays stable or rises slightly. Your physician can check labs if you have concerns.
It may help preserve and modestly regrow hair along a receding hairline, but results at the temples are typically less pronounced than at the crown. Starting earlier generally produces better outcomes.
Some patients see a brief increase in shedding early in treatment as older hairs cycle out to make room for stronger regrowth. It usually settles within a few weeks.
Take it as soon as you remember. If it's close to your next dose, skip the missed one — don't double up. Consistency over time matters more than any single dose.
Finasteride has a half-life of roughly 5 to 6 hours, but its effect on DHT levels persists for about 24 hours per dose, which is why once-daily dosing works.
Yes. Some physicians monitor DHT and other hormone markers during treatment, particularly when finasteride is combined with TRT or other hormone therapies.
Yes. Chronic stress can trigger telogen effluvium (temporary shedding). Low iron, low vitamin D, poor protein intake, and thyroid issues can also contribute. Comprehensive bloodwork helps identify underlying factors.
Most men do not need lab work to start finasteride. Your physician may recommend labs if your intake suggests hormone imbalance, thyroid issues, or other contributing factors.
