Finasteride medication
Treating male pattern hair loss and more
Finasteride is a medication approved by the FDA to help men who are experiencing hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia). It's also used to control symptoms of another health condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). While it's an effective treatment, some people may experience side effects. The good news? There's an innovative new solution, our topical finasteride gel, that can help reduce these risks while delivering the same powerful results.

Your questions, answered
Frequently asked questions about finasteride medication
You've got questions and we've got answers. Check out our most commonly asked queries about finasteride medication, from how it works to the benefits of our innovative topical gel. Everything you need to know, all in one place.
What is finasteride medication used for?
Finasteride is primarily used to treat men with male pattern hair loss. It is also effective in managing the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) by preventing excessive prostate gland growth.
What are the potential side effects of oral finasteride and is there an alternative?
Oral finasteride is effective at treating hair loss, but there have been reports of sexual side effects and depression after taking the pill. If you think you might be experiencing side effects while taking finasteride, contact your doctor right away.
Alternatively, you could treat hair loss with a topical formulation of finasteride. Our Topical Finasteride, with SiloxysSystem™ Gel is a unique formulation that allows you to apply finasteride right on your scalp, in the areas you need it the most. Less finasteride gets absorbed into your body compared to the oral pill, reducing the likelihood of developing side effects.
What is the difference between oral finasteride and topical finasteride?
Oral finasteride and topical finasteride both promote hair growth and prevent the progression of pattern hair loss. However, our topical finasteride, applied directly to the scalp, is specifically designed to minimize systemic absorption of the medication and reduce potential side effects.
With each application, our innovative SiloxysSystem™ gel base holds the medication on top of the skin and releases it into the scalp in a highly controlled way.
How does finasteride work to treat male pattern hair loss?
Finasteride works by blocking the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
DHT is the main cause of hair follicle miniaturization, the process responsible for progressive hair loss in men. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride can stop this process and even help regrow hair in some cases.
Can finasteride regrow hair everywhere on the scalp?
Yes, finasteride has been shown to help regrow hair in all areas of the scalp, including the vertex (top of head), anterior/mid, frontal, and temporal regions of the scalp. Not only does it increase hair counts, but it can also make the hair thicker.
Do I have to take finasteride for hair loss forever?
Yes, to maintain your results, finasteride needs to be used indefinitely. This is because male pattern hair loss is a progressive condition, driven partly by genetics. Stopping the medication could result in the return of hair loss.
Some patients are worried about the possibility of long term side effects with oral finasteride. Studies show that the incidence of side effects actually decreases the longer you take the medication. Additionally, you could consider switching to topical finasteride gel, which delivers similar benefits with potentially fewer side effects.
