Pharmacology

How finasteride works

Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) is driven by DHT (dihydrotestosterone) sensitivity in genetically susceptible hair follicles. Finasteride addresses the root cause by blocking the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT, slowing and reversing hair loss in the scalp.

5-Alpha Reductase Type II Inhibition
Blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT by approximately 70% systemically. Type II reductase is the predominant isoform in hair follicles and prostate.
Follicle Protection
Reduces DHT-mediated miniaturization of hair follicles on the scalp. Halts progression and enables regrowth in responsive individuals.
Hormonal Selectivity
Targets type II 5-alpha reductase primarily found in hair follicles and prostate, not type I (found in skin). Minimizes systemic hormonal effects.
Evidence

Clinical outcomes

Finasteride's efficacy in male pattern baldness is among the most robustly studied drug effects in dermatology. Multiple large RCTs and meta-analyses demonstrate consistent effects on progression and regrowth.

FAQ

Common questions

How long until I see results?
Most men begin seeing visible effects after 3–6 months of consistent daily use. Maximum benefit is typically seen at 12 months. Finasteride slows loss first (within weeks) before regrowth becomes visible. Patience is critical — hair growth is slow.
What are the side effects?
Most men tolerate finasteride well. Reported side effects in studies (<1–3%): erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, reduced ejaculate volume. These are typically reversible upon discontinuation. Serious adverse effects are rare. Your physician will discuss all risks during consultation.
Can women take finasteride?
Finasteride is not indicated for women and is contraindicated during pregnancy (teratogenic — causes abnormalities in male fetus genitalia). Postmenopausal women may use finasteride off-label for female pattern hair loss, but require careful physician evaluation and counseling.
Do I need to take it forever?
Finasteride works only while you take it. Stopping results in return of hair loss (DHT reductase inhibition ceases). If you stop, hair loss typically resumes within months. This is a long-term therapy for men committed to maintaining their hair.
Can I combine finasteride with minoxidil?
Yes, absolutely. Finasteride (blocks DHT conversion) and minoxidil (stimulates growth) work through different mechanisms and are often combined for optimal results. Many clinical protocols recommend combined therapy for maximum efficacy. Your physician can guide dosing.
What's included in the ₹799/month protocol price?
The monthly protocol price includes the doctor consultation, prescription issuance after dermatological evaluation, finasteride 1mg medication (typically a month's supply of 30 tablets), and delivery to your door within 48 hours. No hidden fees—what you see is what you pay.
