Finasteride, a prescription oral tablet, treats certain types of male hair loss by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. It promotes scalp hair growth and reduces loss but doesn’t reverse permanent hair loss.

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. You can buy finasteride uk, or the branded version Propecia on our Hair Loss Products & Treatments homepage.
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.

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.
