About this treatment
A 1 mg oral medicine approved for male pattern hair loss that may slow thinning and support regrowth. FDA approval applies to specific products and indications; your prescribed use may be off-label.
The science
Finasteride inhibits an enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Lower scalp DHT can reduce follicle miniaturization in androgen-related hair loss.
Your clinician considers your symptoms, medical history, and other medicines before prescribing. Follow-up helps assess your response and whether treatment remains appropriate.
