FAQ
What pack sizes does Finasteride come in?
Finasteride tablets come in a 1mg strength, in packs of 10, 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, 240 or 360 tablets. Larger packs cost less per tablet.
Can I cancel my Finasteride order?
Finasteride orders can be cancelled within 24 hours if they have not yet been dispatched. Tracking is on the tracking page, and support answers 24/7 in English and Cantonese by live chat, with tracked courier taking 5 to 9 business days.
What is another name for finasteride?
Brand names for finasteride include Propecia, Proscar, Finast and Finax. Finasteride tablets are a pure generic finasteride product and are not any of those brands. Here, finasteride can also be bought online as Fincar, Finpecia, generic Propecia and generic Proscar.
Is Finasteride 1mg the same as Propecia?
Same ingredient, same 1mg hair-loss strength. Propecia is the original brand; this listing is finasteride sold under its generic name, so the difference is the name on the strip rather than what is in the tablet.
Can I use finasteride with minoxidil?
Yes, and many men do. Minoxidil goes on the scalp and stimulates growth, while finasteride works from the inside on the hormone behind the loss, so the two do different jobs.
Will my hair fall out if I stop finasteride?
Gradually, yes. The hair kept or regrown during treatment depends on the tablet, and within about a year of stopping most men are back to where the hair loss would otherwise have taken them.
About Finasteride
A daily 1mg tablet for thinning hair
Finasteride 1mg treats male pattern hair loss, the receding hairline and thinning crown that run in families. Hair follicles in those areas are sensitive to DHT, a hormone made from testosterone, and slowly shrink under it. Finasteride cuts the amount of DHT in the scalp, so fewer hairs are lost and some of the shrunken ones grow back thicker. It works on the crown and the middle of the scalp better than on a hairline that has already receded a long way.
This listing sells it under the plain generic name. Packs run from 10 tablets, enough to see how you get on, up to 360, which covers about a year.
Finasteride 1mg or one of the other names?
Five listings on PockDose contain finasteride. For hair, three of them are the same 1mg tablet: this one, Finpecia and Propecia, which also offers 5mg. The 5mg tablets, Fincar and Proscar, are made for an enlarged prostate. The finasteride page puts all five side by side.
How long before I see a difference?
Usually three months before anything shows, sometimes longer, and a full year before you can judge it fairly. So the tablet has to become routine: one a day, with or without food, and if a day slips past, just take the next one as normal. If you stop, the hair it was holding on to thins out again over the following year.
Side effects men ask about
Most men notice nothing. A few find their sex drive dips, erections are less reliable or there is less semen. Less often there are breast lumps or tenderness, testicle pain, low mood or swelling of the face or lips, and those need prompt attention. Finasteride halves the PSA reading used in prostate checks, so mention it if you have that blood test. Women who are or could be pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets.
