5-alpha reductase inhibition. DHT suppression.
Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. DHT is the androgen that miniaturizes hair follicles in androgenic alopecia. Suppress DHT, the miniaturization slows, then reverses. Day 90 is when crown coverage typically starts to fill back in.

What to know before starting.
Finasteride is a systemic 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. The side-effect profile is documented and small but real. Sexual side effects in a minority of users, mood effects rare. Most subside on discontinuation. Coordinate with your dermatologist before starting.
The ones that actually matter.
Most users see visible crown coverage filling back by day 90. Hairline response is slower than crown response. Twelve-month commitment is the standard frame for evaluating whether it is working.
Sexual side effects in a small minority. Most subside on discontinuation. Mood changes rare. Track your baseline before starting so you have a real comparison point.
Dutasteride blocks both type 1 and type 2 5-alpha reductase. Stronger DHT suppression, stronger side-effect probability. Finasteride is the standard first-line.
Not strictly required for ordering, but recommended. Bring the lab purity panel from your batch to the appointment. Your dermatologist can confirm dosing protocol and monitor side effects.
