finasteride Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is finasteride available in?
finasteride is available as a 1 mg oral tablet.
What is finasteride used for?
finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that is used to treat male pattern baldness due to hormones (androgenetic alopecia) in adults.
How does finasteride work?
finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. 5-alpha reductase is an enzyme (protein) that changes testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Too much DHT can cause hair loss. By blocking 5-alpha reductase, finasteride lowers the levels of DHT in the hair follicles of the scalp, which helps hair grow.
How do I take finasteride?
finasteride is typically taken as 1 tablet (1 mg) by mouth once per day.
Is it safe for me to take finasteride?
finasteride is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you are pregnant.
