Hello,
Finasteride 1 mg daily is effective for male-pattern hair loss (DHT-related) and can slow or stop further balding.
At your age, it’s reasonable if hair fall is clearly androgenetic (receding hairline/crown thinning).
Sexual side effects occur in a small % (about 2–4%); most are reversible after stopping.
Expect results in 3–6 months; shedding early on is common.
Best results are with finasteride + topical minoxidil 5%.
No issue for men taking it, but don’t donate blood while on it.
Before starting: Confirm diagnosis (dermatologist), check for vitamin D, B12, iron, and rule out telogen effluvium.
I trust this helps Thank you
