Finasteride 1 mg Tablets – Xeno Labs US

Essential 5-alpha Reductase Inhibitor for Hair Loss Prevention

Finasteride 1 mg by Xeno Labs US is a crucial medication primarily used to combat Male Pattern Baldness (MPB).² Classified as a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting Testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT).³ Since DHT is the key hormone that causes hair follicle miniaturization and eventual hair loss, Finasteride effectively lowers scalp DHT levels, slowing or reversing hair thinning.⁴

Each tablet contains a precise dose of 1 mg, the concentration specifically approved and recommended for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male hair loss).⁵

Key Benefits & Mechanism of Action

• Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) Prevention: Effectively reduces scalp DHT levels, preventing the miniaturization of hair follicles and helping to slow or halt progressive hair loss.⁶

• Hair Regrowth Support: In some users, Finasteride can lead to the regrowth of previously lost hair, particularly in the crown area.⁷

• Targeted DHT Reduction: Directly inhibits the 5-alpha reductase enzyme (Type II), lowering systemic and scalp DHT levels without completely eliminating necessary Testosterone.⁸

• Oral Convenience: Simple, once-daily oral administration.⁹

Possible Side Effects

Finasteride is generally well-tolerated, but because it alters androgen levels, some users may experience sexual and non-sexual side effects:¹⁰

• Sexual Side Effects: Decreased libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction (ED), and decreased volume of ejaculate are the most common risks.¹¹

• Hormonal/Emotional: Mood changes, depression, and, rarely, breast tenderness and enlargement (gynecomastia) or testicular pain.¹²

• Note: In rare cases, sexual side effects may persist even after discontinuing the medication, a condition sometimes referred to as Post-Finasteride Syndrome (PFS).¹³

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the correct daily dosage for hair loss prevention?

The recommended and clinically effective daily dosage for preventing Male Pattern Baldness is 1 mg (one tablet), taken once daily.14

2. How long does it take to see results from Finasteride?

Results are not immediate. It typically takes 3 to 6 months of consistent daily use to assess the effectiveness and see the halting of hair loss.15 Maximum results usually occur after one year of treatment.

3. Should Finasteride be used during an anabolic steroid cycle?

Finasteride is generally not recommended during cycles using Testosterone or other common steroids. Its action of blocking DHT conversion can reduce the anabolic potency of DHT-derived steroids and may exacerbate the suppression of natural testosterone production during PCT.

4. Can women use Finasteride 1 mg?

No. Finasteride is strictly contraindicated for women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as its DHT-blocking action can cause severe birth defects (ambiguous genitalia) in a male fetus.16
