Finasteride 1mg tablets

What are Finasteride 1mg tablets?

Finasteride 1mg tablets are a medication that prevents the effects of male pattern baldness. Finasteride 1mg tablets work to reduce the effects of the hormone DHT, which is associated with male hair loss. Finasteride 1mg tablets are mostly used in men between the ages of 18 and 41 (also known as androgenetic alopecia or male pattern baldness).

Male pattern baldness is very common and will likely effect most men in their lifetime. Only men with mild to moderate hair loss will benefit from Finasteride 1mg tablets and it is unlikely to help with complete baldness. For most men taking Finasteride 1mg tablets over a long period of time hair loss was slowed and in some cases hair growth also occurred.

Finasteride 1mg tablets require consistent use of 1 tablet a day to see the full affects. Male pattern baldness can cause embarrassment for some men and affect self confidence. This can lead to feelings of low self confidence for some, which is why Finasteride 1mg is a great solution. Be aware that it will not work right away and can take 3-6 months to see the affects, and if you stop taking Finasteride 1mg tablets you will loose the affect you have gained with in 9 months.
