Finasteride Side Effects

Finasteride Side Effects

Finasteride is a generic treatment used to treat male pattern baldness, also called male pattern hair loss or androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride works to reduce DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that can cause male pattern baldness and speed up hair loss. 

By reducing the amount of DHT produced, finasteride slows down hair loss and can also contribute to hair regrowth. Like all medications, finasteride has a risk of side effects. Here, we’ll inform you of the side effects to look out for and how to reduce them.
