      learn Finasteride

      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? Studies report that most men tolerate finasteride 1 mg, but case series, regulatory labelling and patient reports describe sexual, mood and cognitive effects that some say persisted after stopping, and how often that happens is not established. It is a prescription-only medicine and is contraindicated in pregnancy.
      • Is Finasteride unbeatable or are there equally powerful alternatives? Trials report finasteride as the single medication with the strongest measured effect in male androgenetic alopecia, while dutasteride, minoxidil, topical finasteride, PRP, LLLT and microneedling all have supporting studies and are often reported to work better in combination. Finasteride, dutasteride and oral minoxidil are prescription-only, and several of these uses are off-label.
