Finasteride works by inhibiting an enzyme know as 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme increases the amount of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body, the hormone responsible for weakening hair follicles. DHT reduces the duration of the growth phase of a hair follicle leading to thin and weakened hairs. Finasteride has been scientifically proven to lower the amount of DHT in the scalp. 

The benefits of taking Finasteride for male pattern baldness have been proven in clinical trials where it has shown to not only slow the progression of hair loss in 86% of men but also to encourage re-growth. 

Generic and branded make of a medicine are the same and both makes have to meet the same quality and safety standards before they are allowed to be sold as a medicine. 

All generic medicines that are available in the UK/EU through authorised pharmacies, like My Private Pharmacist, are licensed and genuine medications so they are safe to use as intended.  

What is the difference between brand and generic makes of a medicine

A branded make of medicine initially becomes available for sale by the innovating manufacturer that has discovered the medicine through a very expensive process. As a result, this manufacturer receives the right (patent) from the government to become the only company that is allowed to make and sell such medicine for many years so they can recuperate some of their expenses and make some profit from their work.

After the patent period is over, other manufacturers will be allowed to manufacture this branded medicine, but they will only be allowed to offer the medicine under the medicines actual name (known as the Generic name) or through their own new brand for marketing purposes. As this process is not as expensive as the initial medicine discovery, generic manufactures can offer the medicine at a much cheaper price compared to the innovator’s branded one. 

Why is the generic make cheaper than the brand?

Finasteride is taken as single 1mg tablet once each day (24 hourly) with a full glass of water either before or after food. Finasteride is only suitable for men. Generally, treatment is required for 3-6 months in order to experience hair growth, but continuous use is recommended to sustain the benefit.

Possible side effects associated with Finasteride use include:

·      Uncommon (1 in 100 – 1 in 1,000 people) - impotence, loss of libido, depression 

·      Stop taking this medication if you experience any symptoms of allergic reaction (swelling of lips/face/throat, hives, breathing difficulties)

Please visit the product’s Patient Information Leaflet for a complete list of possible side effects. Note possible means that not everyone will get affected and not all side-effects may appear in one person.

If you experience any side effects, you must stop taking Finasteride and consult your doctor or pharmacist. You can always contact your pharmacist at My Private Pharmacist during our pharmacy opening hours for further advice. 

In case of any severe and potentially life threatening events, always call 999 and seek urgent medical care.
