Description

Hair loss in men occurs when testosterone is chemically converted into an androgenic hormone known as Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The hormone makes the hair follicles shrink and fall out, leading to patchy hair or complete baldness. Finasteride has the active ingredient finasteride. It falls in the class of 5?-Reductase inhibitor or a DHT blocker. The tablets reduce the conversion of the male hormone testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone. This inhibits the shrinking of hair follicles, thus reducing male pattern baldness. Once the conversion process reduces, men notice a significant change in hair growth.
