Is finasteride right for you?
Your pharmacist can advise you on the best treatment for hair loss. They will need a more detailed consultation to find out if finasteride tablets are right for you. You need to tell them about any previous allergic reactions to medicines and about any other medications you are using.
You should start to see an improvement of hair growth over the next few months although it may take up to a year to see the full benefit.
