Who qualifies for Finasteride

Finasteride (Propecia) is typically prescribed for adult men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). When reviewing your case, the doctor looks for specific criteria:

• Diagnosis of male pattern baldness: Finasteride is effective for hair loss at the crown and mid-scalp.
• No contraindications: The doctor will check for any medical conditions or medications that would make Finasteride unsafe for you.
• Understanding of potential side effects: You must be aware of and consent to the possible side effects, particularly those related to sexual function.
• Age: It is generally prescribed for adult men.

The doctor's primary goal is to ensure Finasteride is a safe and effective treatment option for your individual health profile.

What Finasteride actually does (and doesn't do)

Finasteride works by targeting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the main hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles, leading to thinning hair and eventual baldness in genetically predisposed men. By blocking DHT production, Finasteride helps to:

• Reduce hair loss: It slows down or stops further hair thinning.
• Promote hair regrowth: In some cases, it can stimulate the regrowth of hair that has thinned.

It's important to understand that Finasteride does not cure baldness, nor does it work for all types of hair loss. Consistent, long-term use is necessary to maintain results. You typically need to use it for at least 3-6 months to see noticeable effects, with full results often appearing after 12 months. If you stop taking Finasteride, any hair gained will likely be lost within 6-12 months.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Finasteride can have side effects. The most commonly reported include:

• Sexual side effects: Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. These are usually reversible if you stop the medication.
• Breast changes: Tenderness, enlargement, or lumps.
• Allergic reactions: Rash, itching, hives, or swelling of the lips and face.

Less common but serious side effects include depression and, rarely, male breast cancer. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or notice any unusual changes in your body, you should stop taking Finasteride and consult a doctor immediately. Your Hi-Doctor physician can advise you on the best course of action.
