Finasteride is a remedy for baldness in men who experience a mild to medium loss of hair on the top of their scalp and in the front of the center scalp area. It actually increases hair growth, improves the pace of hair regrowth, and also slows down the hair loss. It works only for hair loss in the scalp and not hair loss on other parts of the body. The results for Finasteride usage may be visible after about three months of usage but may take longer in some people. If you stop using the drug, the hair will not regrow  so you have to use the product continuously.

As with all the prescription drugs that cure hair loss, this drug works by inhibiting the growth of DHT. DHT is the substance that is thought to cause hair loss in men. DHT actually impedes the growth of hair in the hair follicles. On a normal day, the average person loses about 100 hairs but this loss is not seen because the hair follicles quickly replenish these lost hairs. Once DHT makes the follicles produce less hairs however, the amount of hair lost becomes more than the newly grown hair. The person is then said to be experiencing hair loss. Drugs such as Finasteride block the conversion of testosterone into DHT thereby ensuring that the hair follicles function normally. Such drugs may however have some side effects that may affect a person. Since they involve testosterone hormones, the drugs may affect one's sexual drive and it is important to consult a doctor before using the drug. The drug companies have attempted to mix the drugs with some herbal products so as to make the products have fewer side effects and hence improve their natural appeal. For instance, saw palmetto is added to Finasteride as well as other pharmaceutical drugs ostensibly for this purpose. Saw palmetto may however cause one to experience dizziness.

When youorder Finasteride,you should check out the price of the drug and compare the price with different pharmacies. The cheapest price does not always mean that you should buy from that particular pharmacy. That would not be good business at all. You should also check out the ingredients to see whether there are any ingredients that you might react with. If there are any ingredients that you might react with, then you should not purchase the drug. If however there are no substances in the drug that might react with your body, then you should go ahead and purchase it.

It is also important to check the manufacturing date when purchasing the drug. You do not want to end up purchasing a drug that has already expired and therefore ruining your health. It is also important to check user reviews of the product so as to hear their experiences of the product. There are numerous user reviews on any product which can be found on the Internet. User reviews are important as they are often unbiased and give accurate information that may not be revealed by the drug making company.
