Usage:

Propecia (finasteride) is used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia) in men. Topically (on the scalp itself) it is of some effect in minimizing further hair loss. In combination with Nizoral and spironolactone (which smells awful, by the way) it can actually reverse loss moderately.
Used for the treatment of prostate disease first. Clinical studies suggest that, with finasteride 1 mg/day, continuous oral 3 months or slightly long can have hair growth, after continuous treatment 1 year hair growth rate to 48%, and can continue to fall off, taking the hair organization 2 years hair growth rate reached 66% ~ 83%.

Applications:

Finasteride is an effective treatment for hair loss in men at 1 mg per day. The huge bummer is that the same dose of finasteride was found to be ineffective for treating hair loss in women. Well, some researchers didn’t give up on finasteride and tested slightly higher doses for women.

Finasteride belongs to a class of medications known as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors and as such is used for the treatment revolving around type 2 5-AR based occurrences.

Dosage Tips:

The standard dose of finasteride in the treatment of male alopecia is 1 mg per day. This shows the results of most men with hair loss. Treatment of female baldness or hirsutism usually requires a standard dose. This is usually between 1.25 mg per day and 2.5 mg of tablet per day.

When used to treat the expansion of prostaglandin, the dose is much larger. This is usually 5 mg tablets per day. If you need treatment of enlarged prostate and treatment of hair loss, this will be the dose. In this case, unless your doctor tells you, no more than 5 mg per day.

These doses are standard doses, but should not be used as an alternative to medical counseling. Not everyone is responding to drugs in the same way, and may require smaller or stronger doses. To obtain the correct dose of finasteride for your body and your condition, you must seek medical advice.
