Information about Finasteride
Finasteride Uses
Finasteride is used in the treatment of hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia. It treats early forms of male pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia).
How Finasteride works
Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks the body's production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth, thereby reversing the balding process and preventing further hair loss.
