Overview
Finasteride is a prescription medication used for male pattern hair loss in appropriate patients. A provider evaluates the pattern of hair loss, medical history, and potential risks before prescribing.
Why it may be considered
- For appropriate adult patients with androgenetic hair loss.
- After discussing sexual, reproductive, mood-related, and other potential risks.
How it works
Finasteride lowers conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone involved in androgenetic hair loss.
What to expect
- Clinical review to assess the likely cause of hair loss.
- Consistent use only as directed if prescribed.
- Periodic follow-up; individual response varies and is not guaranteed.
How to use / route
Oral tablet. Use only according to the exact instructions supplied by your prescribing provider and dispensing pharmacy.
The IV Code does not publish generalized dosing because instructions depend on the individual, prescription, and dispensed formulation.
Who may not be a good candidate
- People who are or may become pregnant must not use finasteride and should not handle crushed or broken tablets.
- People with liver disease, relevant allergies, or certain prostate-related evaluations need clinician guidance.
Know the risks, not just the possibilities.
Potential effects include decreased libido, erectile or ejaculation changes, breast tenderness or enlargement, mood changes, infertility, and allergic reaction. Some effects may persist after stopping. Finasteride affects PSA interpretation. Discuss risks and monitoring with your provider.
