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.


🧑‍ðŸĶē 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.

By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride helps:

  • 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?

Finasteride is only suitable 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


⚠ïļ Potential Side Effects of Finasteride

While Finasteride is effective for many men, it’s important to be aware of possible side effects. Most men tolerate it well, but side effects can include:

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.


ðŸĐš What to Expect During Your Consultation

  • Private assessment by a trained pharmacist

  • Review of your hair loss pattern and medical history

  • Discussion of treatment expectations, risks, and side effects

  • Supply of Finasteride 1mg tablets, if clinically appropriate

  • Ongoing advice and support as needed

This is a private service – consultation and treatment charges apply.
