The proven hair loss tablet
Finasteride 1mg, prescribed online
Finasteride 1mg is a daily prescription tablet that blocks the conversion of testosterone to DHT — the hormone that shrinks hair follicles in male pattern baldness. It is the most studied hair loss treatment ever made, stopping or slowing loss in the large majority of men. On FaroRx it starts at $35 per month.
What is Finasteride 1mg?
Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that miniaturizes hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. Lower scalp DHT means follicles stop shrinking — and many partially recover.
Dosing
One 1mg tablet daily, with or without food. Consistency matters more than timing — pick a time you will not forget.
Who it's for
- Men noticing a receding hairline or thinning crown
- Men who want to stop loss before it advances — earlier is better
- Patients who prefer a once-daily tablet over topical routines
What's in the box
- Monthly finasteride 1mg tablets
- Dosing instructions
- Provider follow-up check-ins
How Finasteride 1mg works
Blocks DHT at the source
Reduces scalp DHT by roughly 60-70%, removing the signal that shrinks follicles.
Stops the slide
In studies, the large majority of men stopped losing further hair.
Regrowth for many
Around two-thirds of men in trials saw measurable regrowth over 12-24 months.
Side effects, honestly
Every medication has tradeoffs. Here's what to know before you start — your provider reviews your full history before prescribing.
- A small percentage of men report sexual side effects (reduced libido, ED) — usually reversible on stopping
- Rarely, breast tenderness or mood changes
- Tell your provider about any persistent effect — alternatives like topical formulas exist

Finasteride 1mg questions
Does finasteride actually work for hair loss?
Yes — it is the most studied hair loss treatment ever made. In trials, the large majority of men stopped losing hair and around two-thirds saw regrowth over one to two years.
How long until finasteride works?
Shedding usually slows within 3 months. Visible improvement typically takes 6 to 12 months, because hair grows slowly. The men who do best are the ones who simply do not stop.
What are the side effects of finasteride?
A small percentage of men (low single digits in trials) report sexual side effects such as reduced libido, usually reversible after stopping. Discuss any concern with your provider — topical options exist for those who prefer them.
Can I get finasteride online without seeing a doctor in person?
Yes. Complete the FaroRx online intake, a licensed provider reviews your history, and if appropriate finasteride ships to you from $35/mo.
Finasteride vs minoxidil — which is better?
They work differently: finasteride blocks the hormonal cause (DHT), minoxidil stimulates follicle blood flow. Finasteride alone stops loss for most men; combining both gives the best odds of regrowth.
Do I have to take finasteride forever?
Hair loss resumes within several months of stopping, so results are maintained only while you continue. Think of it like blood pressure medication: it works while you take it.
Is generic finasteride as good as Propecia?
Yes. Generic finasteride 1mg contains the identical active ingredient at the identical dose, at a fraction of the brand price.
