Finasteride is a prescription-only medicine that belongs to a group of medicines called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. For male pattern hair loss, it is normally used at a strength of 1mg once daily.
Male pattern hair loss is linked partly to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT, helping to lower DHT levels and slow the process that causes susceptible hair follicles to shrink over time.
Finasteride is also available in a 5mg strength for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but the product on this page is intended for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. The dose and indication should not be interchanged.
Finasteride for hair loss is intended for adult men and is not suitable for use by women or children.
Male pattern hair loss is influenced by genetics and by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In men who are genetically susceptible, DHT can cause hair follicles to become progressively smaller, producing finer and shorter hairs before growth may eventually stop.
Finasteride blocks the Type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into DHT. By lowering DHT levels, Finasteride can help reduce further follicle shrinkage and slow the progression of male pattern hair loss.
The main benefits of Finasteride 1mg for male pattern hair loss may include:
• slowing further hair loss;
• helping maintain existing hair;
• supporting hair regrowth in some men with continued treatment.
Results vary between individuals and Finasteride does not restore hair where follicles are no longer active.
For the 1mg strength supplied on this page, Finasteride is used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in adult men. This type of hair loss commonly causes gradual thinning around the hairline, temples and crown.
Finasteride 1mg may help to:
• slow the progression of male pattern hair loss;
• reduce further hair thinning;
• maintain existing hair density;
• support some regrowth with continued use.
Finasteride 5mg is used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), but that is a different strength and treatment indication. Do not use the 1mg hair-loss product to self-treat prostate symptoms.
Finasteride 1mg may be considered for adult men with male pattern hair loss, particularly when hair loss is gradual and follows a typical pattern around the hairline or crown.
It may be suitable for men who:
• have been assessed as having male pattern hair loss;
• are experiencing progressive thinning or recession;
• want to slow further hair loss and maintain existing hair;
• understand that treatment needs to be continued to maintain its effect.
Finasteride is not appropriate for every type of hair loss. Sudden, patchy or unexplained hair loss should be assessed by a healthcare professional before treatment is started.
For male pattern hair loss, the usual dose is one Finasteride 1mg tablet once a day. Take the medicine exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
Finasteride can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water and try to take it at around the same time each day. Do not crush or break the tablet.
If you miss a dose and it is more than 6 hours late, skip the missed dose and take the next tablet at the usual time. Do not take two doses to make up for a forgotten tablet.
Do not stop taking Finasteride without discussing it with your prescriber. Hair loss is likely to resume after treatment is stopped and the benefits gained during treatment may gradually be lost.
Finasteride does not work immediately. It usually needs to be taken consistently for several months before a change in hair loss becomes noticeable.
Some men may notice reduced shedding or early improvement after around 3 to 6 months, while a clearer assessment of the response may take longer. Continued daily treatment is generally needed to maintain the benefit.
If there is no improvement after an appropriate treatment period, or if hair loss changes suddenly or becomes patchy, speak to your prescriber or another healthcare professional.

Like all medicines, Finasteride can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Before starting treatment, read the patient information leaflet and discuss any concerns or relevant medical history with your prescriber.

Finasteride is not for use by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant. Crushed or broken tablets should not be handled during pregnancy because Finasteride can be absorbed through the skin. Intact film-coated tablets prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling.
For a complete list of warnings, side effects and precautions, read the patient information leaflet supplied with the medicine.
While finasteride is a fairly common medication for treating male pattern hair loss, this does not mean it can be used by everyone. In some cases, finasteride may not be a safe or suitable medication to use for male pattern hair loss. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or take any medication (prescription, over-the-counter, herbal) regularly, you should make this known to your doctor when you are assessed for finasteride treatment. Some examples of cases where finasteride is not suitable include:
To help make sure your experience of taking finasteride 1mg remains as safe as possible, here are some precautions to keep in mind:
Nowadays, you can get finasteride for male pattern hair loss from a lot of online pharmacies. Of course, unlike the standard prescription price of medication on the NHS, it is likely that the finasteride cost will vary between online pharmacies. If you are thinking of getting finasteride online, make sure you check that the pharmacy has a valid license or registration in the UK. Remember that finasteride is a prescription-only medication so a reputable pharmacy would never just let you buy it ‘over-the-counter’ without a proper clinical assessment by a qualified prescriber. A legitimate and licensed online pharmacy in the UK will:
All of these steps may feel tedious, but they are important factors to check before you buy finasteride online; this helps make sure the medication is not counterfeit or unsafe. Furthermore, the necessary clinical assessment by a suitably qualified medical professional should be done to confirm that it is safe and appropriate for someone to start taking finasteride.
Male pattern baldness causes hair loss when a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) prevents hair follicles from receiving the nutrients they require to survive. Finasteride inhibits DHT production, protecting the hair follicles that produce hair. DHT reduction can prevent and even reverse hair loss caused by male pattern baldness.

Finasteride is taken once a day as a tablet, either alone or with food. To see results, you must take finasteride on a regular basis. It is recommended that you incorporate the Finasteride tablet into your daily routine to avoid forgetting it. For example, take the tablet at the same time every day, such as in the morning or just before going to bed.
The results will not be visible right away. Finasteride is usually taken once a day for 3 to 6 months before you notice any effects. To determine whether Finasteride is effective for you, you should take it for at least a year. Be aware that even if you have extremely positive results, you must continue to take Finasteride in order for the effect to last. For better results you can also incorporate Regaine Foam into your routine, however always inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medications or products along side Finasteride.
Finasteride is a prescription-only medication in the United Kingdom, which means you must first consult with a doctor, either in person or online, before taking it. Finasteride is not covered by the NHS and must be obtained privately. After completing an online consultation, you can order Finasteride from Meds for Less in a secure and timely manner, and for better results you can also incorporate Regaine Foam into your routine, however always inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking other medications or products along side Finasteride.
Finasteride side effects affect only a small percentage of men. However, all medications have risks, and some men may experience decreased sex drive or ejaculating difficulties. Some men may experience a rash or tenderness around the nipples as side effects for full details refer to the Patient Information Leaflet.
Propecia is a clear alternative treatment because it contains the same active ingredient (“finasteride”), but some men prefer this more well-known brand. Another alternative is Regaine Foam (minoxidil) this is a lotion that is applied to the scalp twice daily. It is less effective than Finasteride, but it is not prescribed. Regaine is the only other hair loss medication recommended by the British Association of Dermatologists, in addition to Propecia/Finasteride.
