What is Finasteride and how does it work?

Finasteride is a prescription medication commonly used to treat male pattern baldness, particularly at the crown and in the middle of the scalp. It is one of the most effective treatments available for hair loss.

How does it work?

Finasteride works by reducing the levels of a natural hormone called DHT, which is a key contributor to hair loss. By lowering DHT levels, finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and promote new hair growth.

Important things to know:

• It specifically targets hair loss on the scalp and does not affect hair growth on other parts of the body.
• It's most effective in treating hair loss in men experiencing male pattern baldness.
