Finasteride 1 mg tablets

• Finasteride is the active substance in Propecia, but without a brand name. This also makes it cheaper.
• Finasteride blocks the production of DHT and thus the impact of DHT on hair follicles.
• Finasteride ensures that when you suffer from hair loss, fewer new hair falls out and hair grows back where it fell out before.
• After 6-9 months, you will notice that hair grows in areas that were previously bald. If you stop taking finasteride, the new hairs will disappear again within half to 1 year.

In low doses of 1 mg, Finasteride inhibits the effect of DHT on hair follicles.
