Finasteride 1mg Tablet

Address male pattern baldness with FDA-approved finasteride (generic Propecia), a convenient once-daily pill, if recommended.

Finasteride is a medication that affects specific male hormones involved in hair loss. It is prescribed at a 1 mg dose for treating male pattern baldness and at higher doses for other conditions. Studies indicate that finasteride halted additional hair loss in 83% of men over a 2-year period, with 66% experiencing some hair regrowth.

Finasteride belongs to a group of medications known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These drugs function by inhibiting the activity of 5-alpha reductase, an enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent male sex hormone. DHT plays a role in male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia), and blocking this enzyme with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors can help reduce or reverse hair loss.

Propecia is the initial brand name for 1 mg tablets of finasteride used to treat male pattern hair loss.

Occasionally, individuals taking oral finasteride may notice a decrease in sex drive or difficulties achieving or maintaining an erection. There is also a potential increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer. Your healthcare provider affiliated with Rizz can provide additional details regarding potential side effects.

In short, yes. The same study previously mentioned, which summarized findings from three studies evaluating the effects of finasteride, found that some men in the finasteride group experienced hair regrowth. According to the authors, “Based on standardized clinical photography, there is a 61% chance of mild to moderate visible regrowth on the vertex (with an additional 5% achieving significant visible regrowth) after 2 years, and a 37% chance on the frontal area after 1 year.” In the two studies focused on hair loss at the crown of the head, 72% of men experienced further hair loss after 2 years. To clarify, the vertex refers to the crown of the head, and the frontal area refers to the frontal or receding hairline.
