Description
Finasteride 1mg tablet is a medication primarily used in the treatment of male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss in genetically susceptible men. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps to slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
This medication is generally prescribed for men experiencing hair thinning or loss on the crown and mid-scalp area. It is effective in improving hair count and preventing further hair loss when used consistently over a period of several months. However, it does not guarantee complete regrowth in all users, and results may vary.
Common side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and reduced ejaculate volume, though these symptoms are typically reversible upon discontinuation of the drug. Other less common side effects can include breast tenderness or enlargement, rash, and depression. The risk of side effects is generally low, but patients should discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider before starting treatment.
