Description

What are Finasteride Tablets?

Finasteride tablets are a prescription medicine containing the active ingredient finasteride, used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). They help slow down thinning hair and, in some cases, support regrowth — particularly around the hairline and crown. Intended for adult men aged 18 and over.

How Finasteride Works

Finasteride targets dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that plays a key role in shrinking hair follicles, which leads to gradual hair thinning and male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT production, finasteride helps protect hair follicles from further damage and may encourage regrowth over time.

How to Take Finasteride

  • Usual dose for hair loss: 1mg once daily
  • Can be taken with or without food
  • Take at the same time each day for best consistency
  • Swallow the tablet whole — do not crush or break it
  • Regular use is important; missing doses may reduce effectiveness

Side Effects

  • Reduced sex drive
  • Difficulties with ejaculation
  • Breast tenderness
  • Mood-related effects including feelings of low mood, anxiety, or depression
  • In rarer cases, allergic reactions

Precautions & Contraindications

  • Allergy to finasteride or any tablet ingredients
  • Women (especially pregnant or trying to conceive — risk to unborn male baby)
  • Certain medical conditions such as liver problems or bladder issues
  • Lactose intolerance (depending on formulation)
