Overview

Noticing your hairline creeping back or thinning on top? You’re not alone — and you don’t have to accept it. Finasteride is a once-daily tablet that tackles the root cause of male pattern hair loss, blocking the hormone DHT so your hair has the chance to stay stronger, thicker, and fuller for longer.

At SwiftMedi, your order is reviewed by a UK-registered prescriber and delivered discreetly to your door.


What is Finasteride


Finasteride (also sold under brand names like Propecia) is a licensed treatment for male pattern hair loss. It works by blocking an enzyme (5-alpha reductase) that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) — the hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles in men who are genetically sensitive.

  • Form: oral tablet
  • Dose: 1mg once daily
  • Who it’s for: adult men experiencing male pattern hair loss


It doesn’t work for other causes of hair loss (such as stress or illness) and is not licensed for use in women.

Directions

  • Take one 1mg tablet daily (with or without food).
  • Try to take it at the same time each day.
  • Continuous use is important - if stopped, hair loss usually returns within 6–12 months.
  • Do not take more than the prescribed dose.
  • It may take 3–6 months of regular use to notice results.

Side Effects

Common (affects up to 1 in 100 men):

  • Reduced sex drive (low libido)
  • Erectile difficulties
  • Problems with ejaculation


Uncommon but possible:

  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Testicular pain
  • Mood changes, including low mood or anxiety


Serious (rare, seek urgent medical help):

  • Allergic reaction (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
  • Depression or suicidal thoughts

Warnings

Finasteride may not be suitable if you:

  • Have liver disease
  • Are allergic to finasteride or any ingredients in the tablet


Important notes:

  • Finasteride is not for use in women or children.
  • Women who are pregnant must not handle crushed or broken tablets, as it can cause harm to a developing male foetus.
  • Finasteride does not affect fertility in most men, but discuss with your prescriber if you’re planning a family.
