Dermatology-informed hair care, prescribed only where clinically appropriate. Nothing is prescribed unless a licensed physician determines it is appropriate for you.
Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It acts on the conversion of testosterone to DHT, the androgen associated with pattern hair loss.
Taken as an oral tablet daily, prescribed only after a physician's review. Effects on hair are gradual and depend on continued use.
Ask about sexual side effects and mood changes, which are the reasons some people stop. Tell your physician if you are pregnant or may become pregnant — this medicine must not be handled in pregnancy — and mention any liver condition.
Educational information only. It is not medical advice and does not describe results you should expect. A licensed physician decides what, if anything, is appropriate for you.
