Finasteride is a medication commonly used to treat male pattern hair loss. It works by blocking the body’s production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth. Finasteride can help slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth in men who are experiencing balding. It is an FDA-approved treatment option that has been shown to be effective in the majority of men who take it.

Frequently asked questions about Finasteride

Does finasteride work?

Yes! Finasteride is known to be effective in treating male pattern hair loss. It works by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) – a hormone believed to contribute to hair loss.

Clinical studies have shown that finasteride can promote hair regrowth and slow down hair loss in the majority of men who take it. However, the response to finasteride can vary from person to person, and results may take several months to become apparent.

It is important to note that finasteride needs to be taken continuously to maintain its benefits, as any hair regrowth achieved may reverse after discontinuing the medication. Consulting with a healthcare professional is crucial to determine if finasteride is appropriate for your specific condition.

Is finasteride safe?

Finasteride is FDA-approved for male pattern baldness treatment and is considered safe and well-tolerated.

Is finasteride high risk?

No, finasteride is not considered a high-risk medication. It has been extensively studied and approved by regulatory authorities for the treatment of hair loss and enlarged prostate. While it may have potential side effects, they are generally mild and reversible. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments can help ensure the safe and effective use of finasteride.

Why don’t women take finasteride?

Finasteride is for use by MEN ONLY and should NOT be used by women or children. In rare cases, men have experienced erectile dysfunction after starting finasteride hair growth treatments.

Does finasteride lower testosterone?

Yes, finasteride can potentially lower testosterone levels. By blocking a certain enzyme, finasteride affects the conversion of testosterone into another hormone called DHT. This might lead to a decrease in testosterone levels. However, it's important to note that any testosterone reduction caused by finasteride is usually mild and well-tolerated.

How do you reduce side effects of finasteride?

There are a few steps you can follow to reduce possible finasteride side effects. It’s important to follow the prescribed dosage and communicate with your doctor about any concerns. As the medication begins working, side effects may decrease with continued use. Consider taking it with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. While starting any new medication, maintain a healthy lifestyle and reach out to your doctor for any support you may need.

How long does finasteride take to work?

Finasteride generally takes around three to six months of continuous use to start showing noticeable results in slowing down hair loss or promoting hair regrowth.

You should also tell your healthcare provider if you have not been taking finasteride as prescribed because this may affect the PSA test results. For more information, talk to your healthcare provider.
