Hair loss treatment: oral tablets can promote scalp hair growth

Finding a cure for hair loss is unrealistic, because there are many reasons for hair loss

The study pointed out: "The 5α reductase inhibitor finasteride blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and androgens cause male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in genetically susceptible men

"The results of a Phase III clinical study conducted on 1879 men showed that in a considerable number of male pattern baldness patients, oral finasteride 1 mg/day can promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss

"Therapeutic doses of finasteride are usually well tolerated

The study concluded that oral finasteride can promote scalp hair growth and prevent further hair loss in a considerable proportion of male hair loss patients

Finasteride is well tolerated and is a new way to treat this disease with few treatments

The active ingredient in finasteride blocks the action of an enzyme that converts the male hormone testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

"Finasteride only stimulates hair growth on the head, and does not cause hair growth in other parts of the body

Finasteride tablets must usually be taken every day, and Lloyd’s Pharmacy adds that the situation improves within three to six months

There is good clinical evidence that finasteride is effective in treating male pattern baldness

Please note that once you stop taking finasteride, any new hair that grows due to the drug may fall out

In addition, hair loss will return after stopping taking finasteride

If hair loss is bothering you, you can try other methods

But most treatments are not available on the NHS, so you have to pay

It should be noted that no treatment is 100% effective

Some wigs are available on the NHS, but unless you are eligible for financial help, you may have to pay

There are two types of wigs to choose from, one is artificial wigs and the other is real hair.
Both have pros and cons
