    How It Works

    Mechanism of action

    Competitive inhibitor of type II 5α-reductase, lowering scalp and serum DHT by ~60-70%. Halts follicular miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia; compounding enables non-standard doses for titration.

    What compounding can change

    When Finasteride (Oral) is compounded for one patient, your prescriber can choose the concentration, combine it with other ingredients, and pick the base. Commercial products come in fixed strengths and bases.
