Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia

Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.
Is finasteride safe?

It is a prescription-only medicine and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Finasteride Results Timeline: How Long It Takes to Work, Shedding Phases, and Expected Outcomes Trial data and community reports both put the first visible changes on finasteride at roughly 3 to 6 months, with the clearest results between 6 and 12 months; an early shedding phase is common and usually temporary.
