Product details

Generic finasteride is the same clinically proven treatment as Propecia, stripped of the brand premium. It tackles male pattern hair loss where it begins, by reducing DHT, the hormone responsible for steadily shrinking the follicles at the crown and along the hairline.

Lower DHT means the follicles are no longer being slowly starved, so loss settles and, for many men, regrowth follows in areas that had thinned. The medicine rewards consistency above all: one tablet each day, kept up over months, with results that hold as long as you continue.

  • Identical active ingredient to Propecia at generic value
  • Addresses the hormonal cause rather than concealing it
  • A once daily habit that pays off with patience

It is intended for men only and should not be handled by women who are or could become pregnant. Prescription only.

Take one tablet daily, with or without food, at a consistent time. Stay the course, as visible benefit takes months and is maintained only with continued use. Avoid handling if pregnant.

Finasteride 1 mg, the same active ingredient as Propecia.

A small percentage of men notice lower libido or erectile difficulty, generally reversing once treatment stops. Persistent effects are uncommon.

For men only. Must not be handled by women who are or could become pregnant if the tablet is broken or crushed. Be aware of the small risk of sexual side effects before starting.

Why choose hair loss medications?

Hair loss does not have to be inevitable. Médetone offers access to FDA-approved, clinically studied treatment options designed to slow or stop male pattern hair loss and, for many men, support regrowth. Everything starts online, reviewed by US-licensed clinicians, and delivered discreetly to your door.

The earlier you start, the better results tend to be. These treatments work best for early to moderate thinning, helping protect existing hair while encouraging healthier growth over time.

Proven results, backed by science

We focus on treatments that are widely used and supported by clinical evidence. Finasteride is taken once daily and works by reducing DHT, the hormone linked to follicle shrinkage. Minoxidil is applied to the scalp to stimulate follicles and support growth. Many men see the strongest outcome when both are used together, targeting hair loss from two angles.

Results take time. Most men notice changes within 3 to 6 months, with maximum benefits often around 12 months. Consistency matters, and your clinician will help you choose an approach that fits your needs and medical history.
