Generally, Finasteride is safe to take. According to the NHS, many people take it for many months or even years without any problems.

However, like all medicines, Finasteride can cause side effects in some people. Some of the side effects are temporary with continued treatment or disappear when treatment is stopped.

We advise you not to take Finasteride if you are trying for a baby. If you are a man who is taking Finasteride and your partner is pregnant, please wear a condom. Women who are pregnant are advised not to handle Finasteride tablets that are crushed or broken as they can go through the skin

Children under the age of 18 should not take Finasteride for hair loss

All patients should always read the patient safety leaflet included with their medication. If you are experiencing side effects, stop taking the treatment and follow the instructions on the leaflet.

You will need to be aware of the potential longer-term side-effects of taking finasteride (known as Post Finasteride Syndrome) - please see our Blog page on PFS for more information

In most cases of men taking Finasteride, the side effects are temporary. Erectile dysfunction, ejaculation issues, and reduced sex drive are reversed shortly after the patient stops taking the treatment. No two patients are identical, but most will experience a return to their pre-treatment status within seven days. This is because Finasteride has a relatively short half-life. Patients looking at how to reduce side effects of Finasteride can focus on the following three steps;

• Stop using the product if side effects are severe
• Get into a routine of taking the Finasteride tablets at the same time each day
• Invest in healthier lifestyle choices

The notable exceptions are the rare cases of cancer. This serious medical condition cannot naturally reverse itself and will require professional intervention.

Finasteride is aimed at male pattern balding, but women can experience hair loss too. We appreciate that, while far less frequent, it is a particularly distressing issue for women.

Can women use Finasteride? Unfortunately, this is not recommended for women. Our doctors would always suggest that women look for more effective hair loss treatments.

The Finasteride 1mg option is considered the maximum dosage per day for hair loss and is the maximum amount of the Finasteride drug found in any tablet.

We strongly recommend against taking more than one Finasteride tablet for hair loss per day as this won't accelerate the benefits.

Finasteride is not designed to completely reverse hair loss, however, in a five-year medical study, 66% of men reported hair regrowth over a period of 6-12 months of taking Finasteride.

The inhibition of the hair-thinning hormone aims to prevent hair follicles from weakening to the point where they no longer penetrate the surface of the scalp (which is what causes the presence of no hair, otherwise known as baldness) when generating new hairs.

The inhibition of the DHT hormone can actually allow hair follicles to become stronger until they break through the barrier. One study found that 65% of long-term users noted an increase in hair count at the five-year mark. This is combined with the thickening of hairs that can also produce the appearance of a thicker head of hair.

Can Finasteride regrow the hairline? Here at Oxford Online Pharmacy, our pharmacists have noted that the benefits are best seen by individuals with mild-to-moderate hair loss, particularly at the temple. If you have been bald for some time you may get little to no regrowth.

Finasteride is widely accepted as the best treatment to begin the process of fighting male pattern baldness. It is believed to show some positive signs in up to 90% of patients.

• The results are achieved naturally by controlling hormones
• Benefits are gradual, producing a more subtle transformation
• The costs are low, especially for the generic Finasteride tablets
• Administering the drug is easy due to its tablet form
• Finasteride and Propecia side effects don't include nausea, etc

Finasteride has greater scientific backing than many alternative treatments on the market. The effects of the active ingredient on hair loss and regeneration are known, making it easier to predict the level of improvement. We find that most clients prefer ordering the generic version of the tablets, rather than the branded ones, due to their affordability and better value.

There is no specific time of day that the Finasteride tablets should be consumed. Similarly, there are no known credible scientific studies to confirm that the hair loss effects are impacted by the timing. The key is to be consistent as the treatment is required for months (or potentially years) to deliver the best results. An established routine can speed up the process.

Finasteride should be stored at room temperature, away from moisture, and in its original container.

The pills should be taken daily and may be consumed with or without food. We suggest taking them with water as it is necessary to swallow them whole.

One of the most common questions many men have about Finasteride is what will happen if they stop taking the drug. Are the hair loss prevention effects permanent, or will their hair start to thin and fall out again?

Because Finasteride works by blocking the specific enzyme responsible for DHT, it only prevents hair loss while the drug is active in your body. Once you stop taking Finasteride, your body starts to convert testosterone to DHT again and your hair follicles start to react as they normally would.

In other words, Finasteride will only work as long as you keep taking it daily, but thankfully, it is safe to take it long-term.

Finasteride UK tablets can achieve great results on their own. However, some patients will want to use it alongside other hair loss treatments, such as Regaine. Additional supplements, including Biotin - Vitamin B7, may be taken in conjunction with Finasteride to promote good health and allow the hormone inhibitions to work at their best. In some cases, hair restoration tonics and creams may be an option.

Finasteride 5mg tablets are prescribed for treatment and control of prostate enlargement (BPH) otherwise known as benign prostatic hyperplasia. The 5mg tablets are not licensed for use in hair loss and so we only recommend and prescribe the licensed medication for male pattern baldness - Finasteride 1mg tablets.
