What Is Finasteride 1mg?
Finasteride 1mg is an oral prescription medication FDA-approved to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink over time. Many men compare finasteride vs minoxidil or use finasteride and minoxidil together, since finasteride works hormonally while minoxidil is a topical that stimulates the scalp. Results typically require at least 3 months of daily use, and continued use is needed to maintain benefit.
