Read MoreIt Ever Too Late to Start Finasteride?
Mister Pharmacist
/ April 18, 2024
Finasteride, widely recognized for its effectiveness in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss, has generated considerable discussion regarding its application for male pattern baldness and hair growth. Understanding Finasteride: Mechanism and Application Finasteride works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to prostate enlargement and hair follicle miniaturization. By lowering DHT levels, finasteride can mitigate symptoms associated with BPH and prevent hair loss while potentially encouraging regrowth. The recommended dosage differs for each condition—1 mg daily for hair loss in men and 5 mg for BPH—highlighting the drug’s condition-specific use. Setting Expectations: A Long-Term Perspective The effectiveness of using a treatment like finasteride in stopping hair loss is well known and proven in clinical trials, with approximately 90% of users experiencing stabilized hair loss within the initial year of treatment. Nevertheless, the success rate may decrease over time, which could be attributed to unresolved causes of hair loss rather than diminished efficacy of the drug. It is crucial for users to maintain realistic expectations, understanding that finasteride should be part of a long-term management strategy and not a quick fix approach. Assessing the Optimal Timing for Treatment...
