Propecia and Generic Finasteride — The Ultimate Hair Loss Treatment
Finasteride is an FDA-approved medication that targets the root cause of hair loss in men. It works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is known to be the primary culprit behind male pattern baldness, as it causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually cease producing hair. By reducing DHT levels, Finasteride promotes hair regrowth, thickens existing hair, and slows down the progression of hair loss.
Why Choose Finasteride
Proven Effectiveness — Finasteride has been extensively studied and clinically proven to be highly effective in combating hair loss. Countless men have experienced remarkable results, with significant hair regrowth and a halt in hair thinning.
Convenience — It comes in the form of a simple oral tablet, making it convenient to incorporate into your daily routine. No messy creams, no complicated procedures—just a straightforward solution to regain your hair and confidence.
Long-Term Solution — Unlike temporary hair loss remedies, Finasteride provides a long-term solution. By consistently taking the medication as prescribed, you can enjoy sustained results and maintain your newly regrown hair.
Possible Side Effects
While Finasteride is a highly effective hair loss treatment, it is important to be aware of potential side effects that may occur in rare cases. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.
Sexual side effects — Some users have reported a decrease in sexual desire or experience erectile dysfunction. However, these effects are generally rare and tend to subside after discontinuing the medication.
Breast enlargement — In a small percentage of cases, Finasteride may cause breast enlargement or tenderness.
Allergic reactions — Although uncommon, some individuals may experience allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
Please note that the side effects mentioned above are not experienced by everyone, and most users tolerate Finasteride well without any adverse effects.
Finasol-M Topical Finasteride & Minoxidil
Are you seeking a cutting-edge solution to combat hair loss without the need for oral medication? Finasol-M is a topical solution that is applied directly to the scalp. The active ingredient penetrates the scalp to inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels locally, Finasol-M helps to rejuvenate hair follicles, stimulate hair growth, and prevent further hair loss.
Effective and targeted treatment — Delivers the power of finasteride directly to the scalp, maximising effectiveness and promoting optimal hair regrowth.
Topical application — No need to swallow pills. Simply apply to the affected areas of the scalp.
Minimal systemic absorption — The potential for systemic side effects commonly associated with oral finasteride is significantly reduced.
Results — Mild results within 3–4 months. Full results in a year. Gains will be lost if you stop.
Minoxidil Hair Regrowth Treatment
Minoxidil is another FDA approved hair loss treatment, suitable for both men and women. It is a topical treatment, also known as Regaine, and it typically comes in 2% and 5% strengths. Minoxidil is designed to both stop hair loss in its tracks and encourage regrowth. During initial trials, the treatment was found to improve hair loss in 60% of the men who used it.
How to use — Ensure your scalp and hair are completely dry. Apply the prescribed amount directly onto the area being treated, working from the centre outwards. Avoid shampooing for at least 4 hours after application.
Results — You can expect to start seeing significant improvement after around 4 months.
Oral Minoxidil
Often referred to as Loniten which is a brand name of Minoxidil made by Pfizer
Oral Minoxidil is a prescription medication that can help you regrow your hair and prevent further thinning. It works by boosting blood flow to the scalp, which nourishes the hair follicles and prolongs the growth phase of the hair cycle.
The dose for treating hair loss is half a tablet (1.25mg) once daily for 2 weeks, then increase to one tablet daily if tolerated. We recommend you use Minoxidil tablets for 6 to 12 months to experience full effectiveness.
Oral Dutasteride — The Alternative to Finasteride
Dutasteride is the active ingredient of the medication Avodart and has become popular as an alternative to Finasteride for Male Pattern Baldness. It was originally developed to treat prostate enlargement and is chemically similar to Finasteride. In several clinical trials Dutasteride has been shown to be more effective in treating MPB.
You take one tablet every day for as long as you care about your hair loss. Improvements are usually seen at the 4–6 month stage.

Results — Mild results within 3–4 months. Full results in a year. Gains will be lost if you stop.
