How effective is it?
In studies, 80% of men taking Finasteride 1mg preserved their original hair follicle counts and 64% experienced some regrowth after two years of continued use.
Don't ignore the signs.
If you’ve noticed your hair thinning around the top of your head or receding at the temples, there’s a good chance that you have male pattern baldness. You might also start noticing hair on your pillowcase or in the shower, but don’t worry, Finasteride can help prevent and even reverse the hair loss process.
Control your hair's destiny!
Men now have a choice whether they keep their hair, and that’s where Finasteride comes in. But it’s important to start now – it’s much harder to get your hair back once it’s gone. The earlier you start treatment, the more effective it will be, so get started with Finasteride today.
I have too much hair, said no one ever.
Did you know you can start losing your hair in your 20s? In fact, 25% of men with male pattern baldness (MBP) begin the process before age 21. The good news is, Finasteride (generic for Propecia) can help you keep your hair, despite whatever genes you were dealt. The reality is, the more time you spend in denial, the more hair you’re going to lose.
Still curious? Here's what other men are asking
What is Finasteride?
Finasteride (generic for Propecia®) is an FDA-approved medication used to treat male pattern hair loss (gradual thinning of the hair on the scalp, leading to a receding hairline or balding on the top of the head in men). Finasteride belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
How effective is Finasteride?
In studies, 80% of men taking Finasteride 1mg preserved their original hair follicle counts and 64% experienced some regrowth after two years of continued use. Use this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it, and it may take up to 3 months to notice a difference.
You must continue to take this medication to maintain your hair growth. When you stop taking Finasteride, any gain in hair quantity is generally lost within 12 months.
How does it work?
Finasteride works by blocking the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme changes testosterone to DHT, the hormone believed to contribute to hair loss in men.
How long until I see results?
Daily use for at least three months may be necessary before a patient will notice the prevention of further hair loss or increased hair growth.
What are the side effects?
Be sure to tell your doctor what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and nutritional supplements you are taking. Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects.
The more common side effects that can occur with Finasteride include:
- Decreased sex drive
- Trouble getting or keeping an erection
- Ejaculation disorder
- Increase in breast size and tenderness
- Skin rash
If these effects are mild, they may disappear within a few days or a couple of weeks. If they’re more severe or don’t go away, talk to your doctor.
What if I stop taking taking Finasteride?
If a patient stops taking Finasteride, DHT levels will rise again in the scalp, and it is likely that hair loss will resume.
