finasteride

Finasteride is a medication commonly used to treat hair loss in men (and sometimes enlarged prostate). It works by blocking a hormone called DHT, which causes hair follicles to shrink, leading to hair thinning and hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps slow hair loss and may promote hair regrowth in some individuals. It is usually taken as a daily pill and should be used under a healthcare provider’s guidance, as it can have side effects and may not be suitable for everyone.
