Finasteride and hair loss

Sassi said:

I would like to know something more about Finasteride and its potential benefit for hairloss,
alopecia benefits. I know that it's used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy, and I was told
it's also very good for hair loss. Is it true or proved? Any comments and suggestions are very
welcome. thanks

According to this, it's not indicated for hair loss in women.

Finasteride has been shown to produce significant results in the treatment of male AGA. It works by
blocking 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to
dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is an important factor in the cause of AGA. Finasteride reversed hair
loss in 66% of men - 30% experienced mild regrowth, 31% experienced moderate regrowth, 5%
experienced great regrowth - and stopped hair loss in 83% of men after two years of follow-up.

Finasteride is not indicated in women. Instead, the use of a systemic antiandrogen such as
spironolactone (Aldactone®) 50 to 200 mg per day, cyproterone acetate (Androcur®), or flutamide
(Eulexin®) may have some benefit in reducing the amount of hair thinning.

thanks for the feedback. Actually I'm using the product called Finastid 5mg, of neopharmed. I was
told to take no more than 1mg of finasteride per day, and considering that each pill in the box
contains 5mg of finasteride, I have to divide it in 5 pieces. What do you think about this quantity?
thanks again
