Q: I am in the process of ordering Finpecia to treat male pattern hair loss. Is this product medically proven?
A: Finpecia is approved by the FDA and is a pill with active ingredient Finasteride, which in oral form can prevent hair loss. It is a form of Propecia and is patented by the country of India. It can be ordered without prescription. The cost is less than Propecia.
It MAY cause decrease in loss of hair and MAY cause some small amount of hair growth. But please make sure you understand the possible side effects or potential complications before trying it. For more information, see this basic fact sheet on Finasteride from the Mayo Clinic.
