THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Early stages of androgenetic alopecia in men, Finasteride 1mg

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Route of administration: oral use.
Men: 1mg once daily with or without food for 3-6 months before any
noticeable
difference is
evident. There is no evidence that higher doses of finasteride result
in
increased efficacy.
Efficacy and duration should be continuously assessed by the treating
physician.
Generally, continued treatment for 3-6 months is required before
stabilisation of hair
loss can be expected. Continued treatment is advised to sustain
benefit. If treatment
is stopped, the beneficial effects begin to reverse after about 6
months, and return to
baseline after 9-12months.
No data are available on the concomitant use of Finasteride with
topical minoxidil for
the treatment of male hair loss.
