How Finasteride Works
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). DHT is the main driver of androgenetic hair loss — it causes genetically susceptible hair follicles to miniaturize and eventually stop producing visible hair. By reducing DHT levels by about 70%, finasteride slows or halts further hair loss in most men and can produce regrowth in some.
What to Expect
Hair loss typically stops within 3-6 months. Visible regrowth, if it occurs, usually takes 6-12 months. Finasteride is most effective at maintaining existing hair rather than regrowing lost hair. It must be taken continuously — stopping will reverse gains within 6-12 months.

Finasteride — Frequently Asked Questions
Is finasteride safe for long-term use?
▾
Finasteride has been FDA-approved since 1997, and long-term studies spanning 10+ years have not identified new safety concerns. The majority of men tolerate it well. Side effects, when they occur, typically resolve after discontinuation.
What is the difference between oral and topical finasteride?
▾
Oral finasteride (1mg/day) is the FDA-approved form with the most clinical evidence. Topical finasteride is applied directly to the scalp and may reduce systemic side effects by limiting how much enters the bloodstream. Some telehealth brands offer topical formulations, often combined with minoxidil.
How much does finasteride cost through telehealth?
▾
Generic oral finasteride through telehealth typically costs about $10-40/month depending on the provider. This usually includes the physician consultation and shipping.
Can women take finasteride for hair loss?
▾
Finasteride is generally not prescribed to women, especially those of childbearing age, as it can cause birth defects. Some dermatologists prescribe it off-label to post-menopausal women, but this should only be done under direct medical supervision.
