Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to common questions about your treatment.

Finasteride is a prescription-only medication used to treat male pattern baldness by targeting the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes hair follicles to shrink. By inhibiting DHT production, Finasteride helps prevent further hair loss and may promote hair regrowth.
Yes, Finasteride is the generic version of Propecia. Both medications contain the same active ingredient, finasteride 1mg, and work similarly to combat hair loss.
Results vary, but clinical studies suggest that Finasteride can lead to a 90% success rate in combating hair loss and increasing hair growth in men. Visible results typically appear after 3-6 months of consistent daily use.
While side effects are uncommon, they may include a decrease in sex drive, depression, ejaculation disorders, and impotence. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice before starting the treatment.
Finasteride is a long-term commitment. To maintain its benefits, it's typically taken daily for many years. Discontinuing the medication can result in the reversal of its effects.
Finasteride is not suitable for use by women, especially pregnant women, due to potential risks to a developing male fetus.
It's essential to follow the prescribed dosage and usage instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Additionally, avoid donating blood while taking Finasteride to prevent potential exposure to pregnant women through transfusion.
Finasteride is typically taken orally as a single 1mg tablet once a day, with or without food. It's important to take it consistently at the same time each day for optimal results.
If you miss a dose, continue with your regular dosing schedule and do not take an additional tablet to make up for the missed one. Consistency is key for the effectiveness of Finasteride.
Finasteride has been used safely by many men for extended periods. While some side effects may occur, they often improve with time. However, it's crucial to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider and undergo regular check-ups while using the medication.
