Why people ask about it
What this is for
Once a day
A daily tablet is a simple routine if a clinician decides it is appropriate.
Aimed at pattern hair loss
It is used for androgenetic thinning, not for every kind of shedding or patchy loss.
Reviewed over time
Monthly and 3-month plans include follow-up so the clinician can reassess benefit and side effects.
Individual results vary. Your clinician decides whether it is right for you.
Before you start
What to know about Finasteride
Finasteride 1 mg is used for androgenetic (pattern) hair loss. It is not for use in pregnancy. A clinician reviews your history and photos before deciding whether to prescribe it.
Who this tends to fit
- You have gradual pattern thinning rather than sudden patches
- You are not pregnant and will not become pregnant while taking it
- You can take a daily tablet for months before judging results
Fitting the description does not mean you will be prescribed this. A clinician decides after reviewing your intake.
Oral finasteride 1 mg is FDA-approved for male pattern hair loss. It can cause sexual side effects and mood changes in some people, and it is dangerous in pregnancy. Women who may be pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets. This page is not a diagnosis of the cause of your hair loss.
How care works
What clinician oversight means here
Licensed clinicians, real review, and support after you start.
A licensed clinician decides
Your intake is reviewed by a clinician licensed in your state. They choose the treatment and the dose, and they can decline. Insert MD does not make that call.
Dispensed by a licensed pharmacy
Nothing ships without a prescription. Your order is prepared and sent by a licensed pharmacy, not packed by us.
Reviewed again at follow-up
Continuing is a decision, not a default. Your clinician reassesses whether the treatment still fits before you carry on.
Compounded is not FDA-approved
Several treatments here are compounded. The FDA does not review compounded medications for safety, effectiveness, or quality, and we say so on every page where it applies.
How it works
Three steps, no charge to find out
Check eligibility
A quick questionnaire — takes about 2 minutes. No charge to see if you qualify.
Provider review
A licensed clinician reviews your intake and approves an appropriate plan.
Delivered to you
Your treatment ships directly to your door, with care-team support.
Precise, consistent dosing
Your prescription is prepared by a licensed pharmacy and reviewed by a clinician licensed in your state. Nothing ships until they approve.
- Compounded by a licensed pharmacy
- Identity, potency, and purity tested
- Dose set by a licensed clinician
- Ships ready to use — no home mixing
Good to know
Finasteride reduces conversion of testosterone to DHT in the scalp, which can slow pattern hair loss. Change is gradual, so consistency matters.
Oral finasteride 1 mg is FDA-approved for male pattern hair loss. It can cause sexual side effects and mood changes in some people, and it is dangerous in pregnancy. Women who may be pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets. This page is not a diagnosis of the cause of your hair loss.
- Pregnancy, possible pregnancy, or breastfeeding
- Known hypersensitivity to finasteride
- Active cancer treatment when the clinician advises against it
- Liver disease
- History of depression or sexual side effects on 5-ARI medicines
- Women of childbearing potential should not handle crushed or broken tablets
Your dose, schedule, and how long you stay on treatment are set by the prescribing clinician after reviewing your intake, and may differ from any general description here. General information, not medical advice.
Hair-cycle changes are slow, so give it several months. Shedding can temporarily increase after starting, which is a normal part of the cycle.
Finasteride is not safe in pregnancy. A clinician decides whether any hair-loss medicine is appropriate for you personally.
A licensed clinician does, after reviewing your intake. Nothing on this page is a prescription or a promise of one, and your plan may look different from any general description here.
