Hi, I have been using finasteride for quite a while now, so my hair is starting to thin, and i'm not too familiar with it. I started with finasteride and continued with it until I found another product that works well (and is cheaper). I'm just curious if anyone has tried it before and if it was worth trying?
Hi I have been using finasteride for quite a while now. I started with finasteride and continued with it until I found another product that worked well. Then I went online and bought a lot of different hair loss products that I could use but still couldn't help but thinning my hair. My only suggestion would be that someone would buy them from me, and I'd do some research to see if they are legit.
I would also suggest taking finasteride 1-2 hrs or so before you start the treatment. Finasteride has to work well in the long term for you, and not too much is lost. It's best not to stop using it without consulting your doctor as much as possible. I was using finasteride about a year ago, and the side effects were such that I could not even stop the medication. After about a month, it seemed to have subsided, and i was able to have a more consistent, thinner head of hair. I can definitely say that finasteride worked well. I had no side effects, and I am still struggling with some side effects of finasteride that I do not know about.
So, any ideas from someone that might be able to help you?
Hello,
I have been using finasteride for almost a year now, but I have started noticing a difference with the hair loss product that I was using. I was trying to get some finasteride for a hair transplant, but my hair wasn't as thin as it used to be. I bought a lot of different products from online sellers, and I was able to find a lot of products that worked well and were affordable. I have heard of people being able to buy them from me for less, but I am worried that buying them from someone else can be risky.
My doctor has prescribed finasteride to me because my hair was so thin that he prescribed it to me. I have been trying to get another product that works well, but it seems that it isn't really a good option. I would love to hear from anyone who has tried them, and if anyone else is taking them, that they can really help.
I have been using finasteride for almost a year now. I started with finasteride and continued with it until I found another product that worked well (and was cheaper). I went online and bought several different products that were very similar to the ones that I had tried before, but there were still a lot of different options out there. They all worked great, but one seemed to be the best option. But as I said, I have to weigh my options. In general, I would not recommend using finasteride to anyone. It is the only hair loss product that has been shown to work for some people. It is not worth the risk, and the only product that seems to be an effective treatment is the one that has been on my dermatology list since 2012, and has been very affordable for me.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have been using finasteride for quite a while now, and my hair was still starting to thin after the first month. I've taken the tablets that I was taking to see if they work for me, and they did. I started finasteride one day after my hair was thinning. I started finasteride one hour after I was taking it, and it worked great for me, but then I began to notice some changes in my hair. Some part of it looked like a bit of a receding hairline, and my scalp could be slightly swollen, but it wasn't. I'm still in a good spot. I'm not sure if it works, or if there is anything wrong with it. I'm not sure if it's a side effect or not. Does anyone know what it is or what to look for?

Take Finax 1mg Tablet as advised by your doctor. Swallow the medicine with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the medicine.
Take one tablet daily, preferably at the same time each day. Follow your doctor's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage.
If you miss a dose of Finax 1mg, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed tablet. Consistent daily use is essential for optimal results in managing hair loss. Always consult your doctor for specific advice regarding missed doses.
Long-term use of Finax tablets may cause potential side effects, such as decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or depression, may persist or appear over time.
Regular follow-ups with a doctor are essential to monitor your health and assess continued suitability.
Long-term benefits, like sustained hair regrowth and reduced hair loss, can be seen with consistent use, but stopping the medication may reverse results.
Studies suggest that prolonged use of finasteride may be associated with health risks, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), dry eye disease, and potential kidney issues.
Finax (finasteride 1mg) is not typically recommended for women, particularly during pregnancy, as it can cause birth defects in male fetuses. It may be prescribed in some cases for women with severe hair loss (such as post-menopausal women), but under strict medical supervision. Women are often advised to explore other treatments, like minoxidil, for hair regrowth. Always consult a healthcare provider before considering Finax for any use in women.

This is not a complete list of drugs available for hair loss treatment, and individual results may vary. To get the most benefits of using Finax, it's important to use the lowest effective dosage for your needs. However, check with your doctor before using any medications in this list, and consulting a doctor is often a good idea for more specific advice.
Steuart Beattie, Hair Loss Specialist at Keeps, says:
Cautious usage or prolonged therapy may indicate a more serious health issue, but should be discussed with your doctor. Always consult a healthcare provider before considering Finax for any use.
Finasteride is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), such as frequent and difficult urination. Besides this, it is also used to treat male pattern hair loss.
Finasteride contains Finasteride, which works by blocking the action of male hormones that cause prostate enlargement and hair loss. Thereby, it helps treat BPH and male pattern hair loss.
In some cases, Finasteride may cause low sexual desire, impotence (erectile dysfunction), abnormal ejaculation, or trouble having an orgasm. Most of these side effects of Finasteride may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Do not take Finasteride if you are allergic to any of its components. Finasteride is not intended for use in women and children. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
Treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and male pattern hair loss.
Finasteride belongs to a class of medicines called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in men with enlarged prostate. It also may decrease the need for prostate surgery. Additionally, it is also used to treat male pattern hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking the action of male hormones that cause the prostate to enlarge and hair loss.
• Finasteride can be taken with or without food. • It is usually taken once daily at the same time each day or as prescribed by your doctor. • Swallow Finasteride as a whole with a glass of water. • Do not crush, chew, or break it.

While rare, these symptoms require immediate medical attention. This is not a complete list of side effects associated with finasteride. Studies have shown that finasteride can increase your risk of developing breast cancer or high-grade prostate cancer, which spreads and grows more rapidly than other types of prostate cancer.
