Finasteride is a medication used to treat male pattern baldness, a condition that causes hair loss. It works by reducing the amount of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to the hair growth that causes thinning and eventual baldness. Finasteride is also used to treat high blood pressure in the lungs, a condition in which blood pressure builds up, causing the blood vessels to narrow and cause blood pressure to decrease, resulting in more difficulty achieving or maintaining a stable heart rate.
Finasteride is a prescription medication that can only be obtained with a valid prescription from a licensed medical professional. It is available as an oral tablet or an injectable solution, and can be prescribed for different medical conditions.
The mechanism of action of Finasteride is to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that can cause hair loss and can cause men to have more difficulty maintaining their hair than they would like. Finasteride can inhibit the enzyme, leading to decreased levels of DHT. As a result, the hair growth that results from hair loss is decreased, as well as the hair loss in the frontal and crown areas.
While Finasteride is generally well-tolerated, it can cause some side effects in some patients. These side effects may include the following:
Serious side effects can occur from taking finasteride. These can include:
These side effects are generally mild and can go away within a few days or weeks. If these side effects continue for a longer period of time, it is recommended that you stop taking finasteride and talk to a healthcare professional.
You should not take Finasteride if you have certain medical conditions, such as:
If you have ever had an allergic reaction to finasteride, such as anaphylaxis or anaphylactic shock, you should not take Finasteride.
You should avoid taking Finasteride if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are allergic to finasteride. You should inform your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to finasteride or any other medication. They will decide if you should stop taking Finasteride. It is important to speak with your doctor before taking Finasteride if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are allergic to finasteride or any other medications. They will discuss the benefits and risks of stopping Finasteride before you are ready to start treatment. The dosage and frequency of Finasteride use will depend on the severity of the hair loss and the individual’s medical history. It is recommended to take Finasteride 1 to 4 weeks before initiating treatment with any medication.
Finasteride can interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform your doctor about all your medications and supplements.
