About Finasteride
What is Finasteride used for?
Finasteride 1mg is a prescription treatment used daily to manage male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. It will not help to treat hair loss caused by stress, diet, medication, medical conditions or hormonal changes.
It is also sold under the brand name Propecia (Finasteride is often referred to as generic Propecia).
How does Finasteride work?
Finasteride works by lowering levels of DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles. This helps slow hair loss and can promote regrowth and thicker, healthier hair in most men.

How effective is Finasteride?
Finasteride 1mg is one of the most effective licensed treatments for male pattern hair loss. Clinical studies show that around 83% of men taking finasteride maintained or increased their hair count over 2 years, compared with 28% of men taking placebo.
Finasteride is most effective at slowing or stopping further hair loss. Some men may also notice visible regrowth, especially around the crown and mid-scalp. Results are gradual and usually require daily treatment for at least 3 to 6 months, with fuller results often seen after 6 to 12 months.
Continued use is needed to maintain the benefit. If finasteride is stopped, DHT levels rise again and hair loss usually returns gradually.
How long does Finasteride take to work?
Finasteride usually takes 3 to 6 months to show early results, such as reduced shedding and the first signs of regrowth.
After 6 to 12 months, you should notice stronger, more visible improvements, including thicker and fuller hair.
To keep these results, you must continue taking Finasteride regularly; stopping treatment will gradually reverse the benefits and hair loss may return.

Finasteride results timeline
| Time on finasteride | What you may notice |
|---|---|
| First 1–3 months | You may not see much visible change. Some men notice reduced shedding, but this stage is mainly about allowing the medicine to start reducing DHT levels. |
| 3–6 months | Early results may become noticeable. Hair loss may slow down, shedding may reduce, and some men may start to see small improvements in thickness. NHS and BNF guidance state that improvement is usually expected after around 3 to 6 months. |
| 6–12 months | Results are usually more visible. Hair may look thicker, fuller or more stable, especially around the crown and mid-scalp. |
| 12 months and beyond | This is when many men see their best results. Continued daily use is usually needed to maintain the benefit. |
| After stopping finasteride | Any benefit is gradually lost. Hair loss may return within 6 to 12 months after treatment is stopped. |
Who is Finasteride suitable for?
Finasteride is used for male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. This usually causes thinning at the crown, a receding hairline, or both. It is not suitable for every type of hair loss.
Hair loss caused by stress, illness, nutritional deficiency, medication, scalp disease or sudden shedding may need a different assessment or treatment.
Our clinicians check that your hair loss pattern is suitable for finasteride before prescribing.
Finasteride Dosage
Take one tablet daily to treat hair loss.
Finasteride tablets are an oral treatment and should be swallowed whole. Do not crush or break pills.
They can be taken with or without food. Take at roughly the same time each day to maintain steady levels in the body.
Do not take more than 1mg daily. This will not improve results and can result in side effects. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and take your next tablet at the usual time.
Finasteride Side Effects
Common side effects
Most Finasteride side effects are mild and often improve with continued use or disappear if treatment is stopped. The most commonly reported side effects in men include:
- Reduced sex drive (low libido)
- Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction)
- Ejaculation problems, such as reduced semen volume
- Breast tenderness or enlargement (gynecomastia)
- Skin rash or itching
- Testicular discomfort
- Temporary increase in hair shedding at the start of treatment (a normal response that often signals the medication is beginning to work)
Serious side effects
Although uncommon, some Finasteride side effects can be serious and require prompt medical attention. These may include:
- Mental health changes: Low mood, depression, and in rare cases, suicidal thoughts.
- Allergic reactions: Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing; or widespread hives.
- Breast changes: Any lumps, pain, nipple discharge, or noticeable changes in breast tissue, which could indicate a rare risk of male breast cancer.
If any of these symptoms appear, stop taking Finasteride and seek urgent medical advice.

Finasteride shedding
Some men may notice temporary increased shedding during the first few months of treatment. This can happen as weaker hairs shed and the hair cycle adjusts. It does not happen to everyone, and it should usually settle. If shedding is severe, prolonged, or concerning, speak to a clinician.
Finasteride Warnings
Finasteride is not suitable for everyone. Do not take Finasteride if you:
- Are allergic to any of its ingredients
- Are female or were assigned female at birth
- Are under 18 years of age
Important MHRA safety information about finasteride
The MHRA strengthened safety warnings for finasteride in May 2026. Finasteride has been associated with depression, suicidal thoughts and sexual dysfunction, and sexual dysfunction may persist after treatment is stopped. If you take finasteride 1mg for hair loss and develop depression or suicidal thoughts, stop treatment and contact a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
Finasteride and Pregnancy
Pregnant women should not handle Finasteride tablets, particularly if they are broken or crushed. Finasteride can affect the sexual development of an unborn baby.
Use a condom if your partner is pregnant or thinks she may be pregnant.
If you are planning to have a baby, stop taking Finasteride tablets for at least three months before trying to conceive.

Finasteride Tablets Reviews
Product rated 4.8/5
Ok product
By Miroslav Pleskac (via Reviews.io)
After struggling with hair thining for a while, I decided to try Finasteride 1mg, and I’m so glad I did. Within a few months, I noticed less hair shedding and even some regrowth around my crown. My hair is fuller, and I feel much so more confident. It took time, but the results are definitely worth it. No major side effects for me just a slight adjustment in the beginning. If you're dealing with hair loss, it’s definitely worth it!
