Finasteride 1mg — Prescription Hair Loss Treatment

Daily oral tablet that blocks the enzyme (Type II 5-alpha reductase) converting testosterone to DHT — the hormone driving male pattern hair loss. In the original 2-year Phase 3 trial (Kaufman 1998, men 18–41 with mild-to-moderate vertex/frontal loss), 83% of men on finasteride 1mg stopped losing hair and 48% showed visible regrowth.

Why Patients Choose

Slows or stops further hair loss in roughly 8 out of 10 men.

In the Kaufman 1998 2-year trial of men 18–41 with mild-to-moderate male pattern loss, 83% of men on 1mg/day showed no further visible loss versus continued decline in placebo.

Regrows hair in roughly 1 in 2 men.

48% of men in the same trial showed visible regrowth at 2 years on standardized photography.

One small tablet a day.

No topical mess, no injections, no shampoos to remember.

Works on the actual cause, not the symptom. Finasteride lowers scalp DHT by about 60% (Drake et al., J Am Acad Dermatol 1999)

DHT is the hormone that miniaturizes hair follicles in male pattern loss.

Clinical Evidence

How

Male pattern hair loss is driven by DHT — a hormone made when testosterone is converted by an enzyme called Type II 5-alpha reductase.

DHT shrinks genetically sensitive hair follicles on the scalp until they stop producing visible hair. Finasteride blocks that enzyme. Less enzyme = less DHT = follicles stop shrinking. Existing miniaturized follicles often recover enough to produce visible hair again, which is why regrowth shows up over 4–12 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's the same FDA-approved 1mg finasteride dispensed by a U.S.-licensed pharmacy with a real prescription. No research chemicals, no overseas shipping.

In the Phase 3 trial, about 3.8% of men on finasteride reported sexual side effects (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or reduced ejaculate volume) versus 2.1% on placebo. In most men these resolved with continued use or after stopping. A smaller subset has reported persistent symptoms after discontinuation — your physician will go through this with you before prescribing.

Some men shed for the first 2–3 months as dormant follicles cycle back into growth. This is expected and typically reverses by month 4–6.

Most men notice less shedding in 2–3 months and visible regrowth by 4–6 months. Full results take ~12 months. If you stop taking it, the benefit is lost within 6–12 months.

You only pay after a physician approves you. If you're not eligible, you're not charged.

It blocks Type II 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that turns testosterone into DHT. Less DHT in the scalp means follicles stop being shrunk by the hormone driving male pattern hair loss. What results should I expect? Based on the 2-year Phase 3 trial in men 18–41 with mild-to-moderate pattern loss: 83% of men stopped losing more hair and 48% showed visible regrowth. Your result depends on your age, how advanced the loss is, and whether you take it daily. How do I take it? One 1mg tablet by mouth, once a day, with or without food. What are the side effects? The most common are decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and reduced ejaculate volume. In the Phase 3 trial these occurred in about 3.8% of men on finasteride versus 2.1% on placebo. Mood changes, including depression, have been reported. Most side effects resolve with continued use or after stopping; a smaller subset of men report persistent sexual symptoms after discontinuation. Stop the medication and contact us if you experience anything concerning. When will I see results? Less shedding at 2–3 months. Visible regrowth typically at 4–6 months. Full effect at ~12 months. Results reverse within 6–12 months if you stop. Can women take finasteride? No. Finasteride is not FDA-approved for women and must not be handled by women who are or may become pregnant — even crushed or broken tablets — because it can cause birth defects in a male fetus. What if I'm already taking minoxidil or on TRT? Tell us in the intake. A physician will review the combination. Finasteride is commonly used alongside topical minoxidil; it's also used in men on TRT to manage scalp DHT.

6 months on Finasteride and I can definitely see new growth coming in. The initial shedding was scary but the ArgoMD team prepared me for it. Worth the patience.

My hairline had been receding for years. After starting Finasteride, the recession has stopped and I'm seeing baby hairs filling in. Very pleased.

The combination protocol my ArgoMD physician recommended including Finasteride has made a noticeable difference. My barber even commented on it.
