Description

Finasteride 1mg Tablets are a highly effective treatment for male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), specifically targeting hair thinning at the crown and mid-scalp area. Available at MedCare Health Clinic, Finasteride works by reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and leading to hair loss in men.

Men typically see results within 3 to 6 months of consistent daily use, with the full benefits apparent after 12 months. However, continuous use is necessary to maintain hair growth, and stopping the medication may result in hair loss resuming within a year.

Available Strengths

• Finasteride 1mg Tablets

Directions for Use

1. Take one 1mg tablet once daily, with or without food.
2. Consistency is key—take the tablet around the same time each day.
3. Do not stop taking the medication, as this could reverse any benefits gained.

Ingredients

• Active Ingredient: Finasteride 1mg
• Other Ingredients: Lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate.

How It Works

Finasteride lowers the levels of DHT in the scalp by inhibiting the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. With reduced DHT levels, hair follicle shrinkage slows down, allowing for increased hair growth and decreased hair loss in men.

Side Effects

As with any medication, Finasteride 1mg can cause side effects, although not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include:

• Decreased libido or sexual function
• Erectile dysfunction
• Decreased semen volume
• Breast tenderness or enlargement

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, or if you notice more serious side effects such as lumps in the breast or nipple discharge, consult your doctor immediately.
