Finasteride is an effective treatment for male pattern baldness. It works by targeting DHT, a hormone which causes male hair loss, to help prevent hair loss and encourage hair regrowth.
It was approved for medical use in 1992 and has been sold under several brand names, such as Propecia, for many years. However, in 2022, it became available as a generic.
Finasteride is available as 1 mg tablets that you take once daily. It is available to purchase from OnlineClinic in packs of 28 tablets.
Finasteride has several benefits compared to other male hair loss products.
Finasteride can also be used alongside other hair loss treatments such as Minoxidil.
Finasteride works by preventing the production of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, also known as DHT. It is a hormone derived from testosterone, which contributes to the development of male characteristics during puberty.
However, as you get older, it causes male pattern baldness. It shrinks the hair follicles on the scalp, which shortens the hair growth cycle and leads to thinner and weaker hair.
Finasteride therefore reduces the production of DHT, which slows down hair loss and encourages hair regrowth.
Finasteride is suitable for most adult men to take for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
However, there are some cases where Finasteride should not be used, such as:
You should also contact your doctor beforehand if you:
If you have any other medical conditions or take any other medicine, always consult with your doctor before taking Finasteride.
*Please note: Pregnant women must not touch broken or crushed Finasteride tablets. Finasteride can cause problems for an unborn baby if it is absorbed into the skin of a pregnant woman.
Finasteride is available as 1 mg tablets. You take one 1 mg tablet daily. You can take the tablet with or without food.
If you miss a dose, do not take a double dose to make up for it. Skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the regular time.
Taking too many Finasteride tablets will not make it work faster. If you take too many, talk to your doctor as soon as possible.
It will take 3-6 months to start seeing the effects of Finasteride. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor. If you stop taking it, you are likely to start losing your hair again.
Like all prescription medicines, Finasteride may cause some side effects.
Most side effects should be mild and not cause any concern. However, if you experience any side effects that do not go away or cause discomfort, please consult your doctor.
The most common side effects occur in 1 in 100 men. Side effects may include:
In rare cases, Finasteride may cause severe depression and suicidal thoughts. If you experience these side effects, consult your doctor or seek urgent medical attention where appropriate.
You can order 1 mg Finasteride online from OnlineClinic in packs of 28.
All you have to do is complete a brief questionnaire online about your medical history and then place an order. This is so our doctors know it's safe for you to take.
If approved for treatment by one of our registered doctors, your order will be sent as early as the next working day to your chosen address.
Note: Decisions about treatment are for both the prescriber and the person to jointly consider during the consultation. However, the final decision will always be the prescriber’s.
