Hair Loss for Males
Finasteride 1mg for Hair Loss – Redwood Pharmacy
Male pattern baldness (also known as androgenetic alopecia) is the most common cause of hair loss in men, affecting up to 50% of men over the age of 50. If you’re concerned about thinning hair or a receding hairline, Finasteride 1mg is a proven treatment option that may help slow hair loss and promote regrowth.
At Redwood Pharmacy, we offer a private consultation and supply of Finasteride 1mg, subject to clinical suitability.
What Is Finasteride and How Does It Work?
Finasteride 1mg is a daily oral tablet used to treat male pattern hair loss at the crown and middle of the scalp. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and stop producing hair.
- Slow down hair loss
- Increase hair thickness
- Stimulate new hair growth in some men
Most men begin to see visible improvements after 3 to 6 months of consistent use.
Who Is It For?
- Men aged 18 and over with mild to moderate hair loss
- Those with no contraindicated medical conditions
- Individuals not planning to conceive a child in the near future
Not suitable for:
- Women or children
- Men with liver disease
- Anyone with a known allergy to finasteride
Potential Side Effects of Finasteride
Common (affecting up to 1 in 100 men):
- Reduced sex drive (libido)
- Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection
- Decreased semen volume
Rare (affecting fewer than 1 in 1,000 men):
- Breast tenderness or enlargement
- Testicular pain
- Depression or mood changes
- Allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling)
In most cases, side effects resolve after stopping the medication. However, a small number of men have reported persistent sexual side effects after discontinuation (known as Post-Finasteride Syndrome – under review by health authorities).
Always report any persistent or worrying side effects to your pharmacist or GP.
