What it is

A 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, the androgen that shrinks hair follicles in male pattern loss. Less DHT reaching the follicle means the shrinking slows.

How it helps

  • Slows the follicle shrinking that drives male pattern hair loss
  • Acts mainly on the crown and the mid-scalp
  • Taken daily; most men need three to six months before a change is visible
  • Benefit continues only for as long as treatment continues

Starting from $259 for a minimum of 3 months

Start Treatment

Your intake and prescription are handled by Karpa Health, our licensed pharmacy partner. A physician reviews every request before anything is dispensed, and each treatment is approved on its own.

Prescription therapy. Available only after a medical review by our clinical team, and used under a licensed provider’s supervision. Nothing on this page is medical advice, and it has not been evaluated by the FDA.

Common considerations

  • Possible reduced libido, erectile difficulty or lowered ejaculate volume
  • A small number of men report sexual side effects that persist after stopping
  • Possible breast tenderness or enlargement. Report any breast lump to your provider
  • Not for women who are or may become pregnant. Do not handle crushed or broken tablets
  • It lowers PSA readings. Tell any clinician ordering a PSA test that you take it

Before you start

Starting treatment here means answering the questionnaire, not paying for anything. A provider reads your answers and decides whether this is right for you; if it is, they set the strength and the course. Programs run for a minimum of three months and are billed for that full term. Nothing is charged before a provider has said yes.

See the telehealth consent and the refund policy for the detail.
