Finasteride tablets, also known by the brand name Propecia, are medicines that are only available on prescription and are used to treat male pattern baldness. They help to prevent further hair loss in men and can be used as soon as the first sign of baldness is experienced.

What are Finasteride Tablets?

Finasteride Tablets contain the active ingredient finasteride, which is used to treat pattern baldness in males. The treatment helps men to grow their hair by stopping the hair from falling further. It is especially suitable for men who have thinning hairlines. It can be used by men who are over the age of 18 years.

How does a Finasteride Tablet work?

Finasteride tablets work by blocking the formation of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is present in the hair follicles.

Dihydrotestosterone is responsible for hair loss and baldness in men; when this hormone formation is blocked, the baldness process is reversed. This results in increased hair growth and less hair loss.
