Finax is a treatment for hair loss in men, or male pattern baldness, as it’s sometimes known. It prevents hormone conversion in the body that causes hair follicles to shrink, triggering hair loss.
It’s also used to treat men with an enlarged prostate, or benign prostate enlargement (or BPH for short).
Sometimes Finax can even trigger hair regrowth, although it needs to be taken on a long-term basis for you to keep getting positive results from it.
Male pattern baldness is usually pretty easy to identify. You can start to lose hair from the scalp or top of the head, but it can also start at the front of the head, which is what’s known as a receding hairline.
There’s an enzyme in the body called 5-alpha reductase. It converts the hormone testosterone into another hormone, dihydrotestosterone, or DHT. DHT can make hair follicles shrink, and trigger hair loss, if your body is sensitive to it.
The active ingredient in Finax is Finasteride that stops the enzyme from converting testosterone into DHT, reducing the amount of the enzyme in the blood and the scalp. This helps encourage hair growth, and prevent any more hair loss.
It starts working in the body immediately, so it’s likely that your DHT levels will be lower as soon as you’ve taken your first dose. Generally speaking, Finax reduces DHT in the body by around 70%.
But it can take longer before you see any results. Because male pattern hair loss is a condition that develops slowly, it may take between 3 and 6 months before you see any improvement in the thickness of your hair, or any reduction in hair loss, with Finax. And it may be up to 12 months before you see the best results.
It’s easy to stop taking Finax if you’re not noticing any improvements relatively quickly, but you should keep taking it as prescribed. Your DHT levels will return to normal if you interrupt your course of treatment, and you may start to lose hair once more. Patience can be the key with this treatment.
While Finax doesn’t always trigger hair regrowth, it’s a treatment that’s often taken to stop any further loss of hair, rather than as a means of growing your hair back.
Your hair will still fall out when you’re using Finax as part of its natural growth cycle (stray hairs being replaced by new hairs), so you’ll continue to see stray hairs in the shower or the bath, on your comb, or in your hands. This is totally normal and nothing to worry about.

Finax comes in packs of 30 tablets. Take one tablet every day, either with or without food, and swallow them whole.
It may take several months for you to see the full effects of medication. Continue to take Finax for as long as your doctor prescribes it. They can help you to assess if the tablets are working for you over your treatment course.
If you miss a tablet, don’t worry. Just take the next tablet as you normally would. Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
If you frequently forget doses, setting an alarm or daily reminder can help you. If this doesn’t work, it can help to take your pill with a meal to make sure you take it at the same time each day.
Clinical trials have shown that it’s pretty effective. In a five year medical study, two groups of men took a Finasteride tablet every day, or a placebo tablet. More than 80% of the men taking Finasteride daily found that they stopped losing hair within 6–12 months, and 66% even noticed hair regrowth . But the entire group taking the placebo experienced hair loss.
The men taking Finasteride also noticed improvement in the thickness of their hair, and that their hair looked better, following treatment.
