Oral Finasteride is an FDA-approved prescription medication used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT is a hormone associated with hair follicle miniaturization in individuals experiencing androgenetic alopecia. By lowering DHT levels, Finasteride may help slow the progression of hair loss and support hair growth in some patients when prescribed and monitored by a licensed healthcare provider.
Finasteride is also commonly prescribed to help manage symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate by supporting reduced prostate size and improving urinary flow in appropriate patients.
At Weight Loss MD, licensed healthcare providers conduct consultations to review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether Finasteride may be an appropriate treatment option for your needs.
Finasteride requires a valid prescription and consultation with a licensed healthcare provider.
