ABOUT THE MEDICATION
WHAT IS FINASTERIDE?
Finasteride, also known by the brand name “Propecia”, is a medicine for the treatment and prevention of male pattern baldness, which affects men even from a very young age. So don’t be alarmed. We’ve been there.
Finasteride uses the same active ingredient as Propecia and is MHRA approved to treat hair loss in men. The two drugs are medically the same and contain the same amount of the active ingredient.
KEY FACTS
ONCE DAILY 1MG TABLET
The tablet should be swallowed whole with a little water. The tablets can be taken with or without food.
TREATS HAIR LOSS IN MEN
Finasteride is used as a treatment for hair loss in men.
MEN ONLY, 18 AND OVER
The drug should not be used by women or men under the age of 18 years. Studies have shown that finasteride does not work in women with hair loss.
3 TO 6 MONTHS
In general, daily use for 3 to 6 months may be necessary before you notice any improvement in the amount of hair or a reduction in the amount of hair you are losing.
NOT FOR BALD AREAS
Finasteride will only work on areas of the scalp that still have some hair growth and cannot grow hair on completely bald areas.

How Finasteride Works
How Does Finasteride Work?
Finasteride blocks an important enzyme (Type II 5α-reductase) from converting your natural testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which attacks your hair follicles.
This helps to stop hair loss in its tracks and encourages the hair to regrow.
How Long Does Finasteride Take to Work?
In general, daily use for 3 to 6 months may be necessary before you notice any improvement in the amount of hair or a reduction in the amount of hair you are losing. It is important to continue using finasteride as long as it is prescribed, which is usually 6 months or more. If you stop treatment or take a break, you may lose the hair you have gained after a few months.
In Practice
The Practical Consequences
It only works while you take it
Finasteride is only effective when you take it. If you stop taking it, your body will go back to its normal rate of hair loss and you will lose the progress you have made.
One tablet a day is the maximum
Finasteride tablets will not work faster or better if you take them more than once a day. The recommended dose is one finasteride 1mg tablet taken daily.
Give it up to a year to judge
We recommend using finasteride for up to 1 year to confirm whether it is an effective treatment for you.
Dosing & How to Take
HOW TO TAKE FINASTERIDE
01
Dose
The recommended dose of finasteride for male pattern baldness or ‘androgenic alopecia’ is 1mg daily. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a little water.
02
Food
The tablets can be taken with or without food. Do not take more than one tablet a day. Taking more tablets will not make the product work faster.
03
Missed dose
Just take the next dose as soon as you remember. Do not ‘double dose’ to make up for missing a tablet. Remember you shouldn’t take more than one tablet in 24 hours
04
Duration
This is a long-term treatment and the tablets should be taken over a long period of time for you to see the benefits. It may take up to 6 months for the effects to be seen.

DO NOT take finasteride if you are already taking medicines used to treat prostatic hyperplasia, like ‘Proscar’ (which contains 5mg finasteride) or any other type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. If you are already taking finasteride (or dutasteride, a similar product) for BPH, then you should avoid taking more finasteride.
Other Medicines & Supplements

NOT FOR MEN UNDER 18

NOT IF YOU HAVE HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO IT
DO NOT take finasteride if you have previously had an allergic reaction to it.
DO NOT BREAK OR CRUSH THE TABLETS
Finasteride tablets are coated and should not be broken or crushed. Women who are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant should not handle or touch broken or crushed finasteride tablets due to an increased risk of fetal malformations, particularly if the baby is male.
RISK TO AN UNBORN MALE BABY
If finasteride is absorbed through the skin by a woman who is pregnant with a male baby, it could cause abnormalities of the sex organs.
Warnings
Warnings and Precautions
You should check with your doctor first, before using finasteride if:
- 01
Depression or Mood Changes

- 02
Planning a Family
You are planning a family, as infertility has been reported in men who took finasteride for a long time.
- 03
PSA Blood Tests
You are having a blood test called PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) which helps to screen for prostate cancer because finasteride will affect your PSA levels.
- 04

Stopping Treatment
Stopping Finasteride
If you stop taking finasteride you will lose any beneficial affects you have seen over the last 9 to 12 months.
This may result in the return of your hair loss and subsequent ‘baldness’ or ‘bald patches’ could return.
Storing and Disposing of Finasteride
Finasteride should never be used past the expiry date which is always the last day of the month shown on the packaging. Never flush finasteride tablets down the toilet or empty them down the drain as this will contaminate water and could affect the environment. We recommend that all medicines be returned to your local pharmacy for proper disposal.
