Men experiencing male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) are generally good candidates. Specifically, those with moderate to significant hair loss showing a receding hairline or thinning crown are most likely to see benefits.
Finasteride is generally prescribed for men aged 18 to 60. Younger men should discuss risks and benefits thoroughly with their doctor.
Individuals with a family history of male pattern baldness often respond well. This genetic predisposition makes them more suitable candidates.
However, it’s crucial to understand Finasteride isn’t for everyone. Women, particularly pregnant or breastfeeding women, should absolutely avoid this medication due to potential risks to a developing fetus. Men with a history of liver disease should also consult a doctor before considering Finasteride.
Before starting Finasteride, a consultation with a dermatologist or other qualified healthcare professional is strongly recommended. They will assess your individual needs and determine if you are a suitable candidate, taking your medical history and current health into account.
Regular monitoring of your health is advised while taking Finasteride, allowing for prompt adjustments to treatment if needed.
