Finasteride is a medication used in the treatment of male pattern hair loss caused by an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down a drug's active ingredient. By inhibiting this enzyme, finasteride helps to maintain hair follicles at their natural growth stage, helping to promote hair regrowth and thickness.
Finasteride is a very different medication from the one used for hair loss medications like minoxidil or minoxidil. Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss in men. High DHT levels lead to follicles that are characterized by a thinner and weaker hair.
Finasteride blocks the activity of 5-alpha-reductase, a crucial part of the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, finasteride prevents the body from shrinking hair follicles and stimulates hair regrowth.
This helps to slow down hair loss and promote new hair growth. Finasteride is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia) in men. It has been proven to be effective for many men with this condition and is commonly prescribed to promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
Finasteride comes in a tablet form. It's taken once a day, either daily or as needed. The typical starting dose is 10 mg, taken once a day.
It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
It's important to note that Finasteride only works with hair follicles that are about 50% shrinkage. Finasteride only helps slow down the process of hair loss and does not help with any hair loss that is caused by the medication itself.
Finasteride can also be taken with or without food. However, if you experience any side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
