    Overview

    Finasteride is a medication used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

    How Finasteride Works

    Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. By reducing DHT levels, it can slow hair loss and promote hair regrowth in men with male pattern baldness.
