Effective Within

Works By

Finasteride blocks the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and causing male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels by up to 70%, finasteride slows hair loss and often promotes regrowth of thinning hair. Results typically appear after 3-6 months of daily use, with maximum benefits at 1-2 years. Hair loss resumes if treatment stops.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Ingredients

Finasteride tablets USP contain finasteride USP as the active ingredient. Finasteride, a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound, is a specific inhibitor of steroid Type II 5α-reductase, an intracellular enzyme that converts the androgen testosterone into 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

Warning

Do NOT take if you are:
∙ Pregnant or may become pregnant—can cause severe birth defects in male fetuses
∙ A woman of childbearing age (unless using reliable contraception)
∙ Allergic to finasteride
Important warnings:
∙ Sexual side effects may occur: decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced ejaculate volume. In rare cases, these may persist after stopping the medication.
∙ Prostate cancer screening: Finasteride lowers PSA levels, which may mask prostate cancer detection. Inform your doctor you’re taking finasteride before PSA tests.
∙ Breast changes: Report any lumps, pain, or nipple discharge immediately.
∙ Mental health: Depression and suicidal thoughts have been reported rarely.

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.
