Finasteride 1mg Tablets
Finasteride is a medicine licensed and proven to slow down hair loss and stimulate hair growth on the head in men only.
Finasteride works by preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Hair loss caused by male pattern baldness occurs when DHT hormone blocks hair follicles from getting the vital nutrients they need to survive.
Finasteride is effective in 9 out of 10 men. Two thirds of men who take finasteride correctly go on to experience hair regrowth. It may take 3 to 6 months for you to start seeing an improvement.
If you stop taking finasteride, you are likely to lose the hair you have gained and therefore, must always take it to continuously see the benefits.

Like any other medicine, finasteride can causes side effects although a very small proportion of men experience these. Some side effects reported include reduced libido, problems with ejaculation and increased sensitivity of the nipple.
There have been very rare reports of finasteride causing depression. If you experiences any side effects such as low mood, lack of energy or loss of interest in your usual daily activities, contact your doctor as soon as possible for further medical advice.
