Finasteride 1 mg is a medication used for the treatment of hair loss in men, specifically male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. This condition is characterized by a gradual thinning of the hair, often starting at the temples or crown, and is influenced by genetic and hormonal factors. Finasteride addresses the hormonal cause of this type of hair loss by targeting the activity of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a form of testosterone that contributes to shrinking hair follicles.
By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps slow down hair loss and, in some cases, may support the regrowth of hair. The medication is taken as a 1 mg tablet once daily, with or without food. Continuous daily use is important, as the effects of Finasteride gradually build over time. Most individuals begin to notice changes within three to six months, and full results are typically assessed after about one year.
Finasteride does not affect hair growth on other parts of the body and is only intended for use in male pattern baldness. If the treatment is stopped, DHT levels return to normal, and hair loss usually resumes within several months. The medication is not approved for use in women, especially during pregnancy, as it can affect the development of male fetuses.
Possible side effects may include reduced libido, erectile changes, or mood shifts, though these are generally uncommon and may resolve after continued use or discontinuation. Finasteride is generally well tolerated when used consistently and as directed.
