Finasteride is one of the only medications which is licensed in the UK to treat male pattern hair loss, so doing everything you can to improve its results is crucial. Is your Finasteride not working the way you would like it to? Here are some simple ways to help make your journey with Finasteride that bit more successful.

 

Minoxidil

Using Minoxidil alongside Finasteride can help improve the results achieved. Minoxidil comes in the form of a topical solution applied to the scalp - which increases blood flow oxygen in your blood vessels and revitalises shrunken or damaged hair follicles in your scalp. It is also available as an oral capsule, which can also be used with Finasteride. When used together, Minoxidil and Finasteride, are clinically-proven to be an effective hair loss treatment for men.

 

Consistency

Like any other medication, Finasteride requires consistent use. It’s important that you don’t miss any tablets, as consistently missing tablets can have a huge impact on your hair loss treatment. We recommend incorporating Finasteride into your daily routine, i.e. taking them after you brush your teeth, or setting a daily alarm that reminds you to take it.

 

Biotin supplements

Finasteride and Minoxidil aren’t the only things you should consider taking as part of your hair loss treatment. Also known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, Biotin actively promotes healthy, strong hair. Many men who struggle with poor quality hair and slow growth may have a Biotin deficiency, which can also affect skin and nail growth. If you can combine your Finasteride tablets with Biotin supplements, you give yourself the best chance of growing great-looking hair.

 

DHT-blocking shampoo

Formulated with saw palmetto, DHT-blocking shampoo is a worthwhile addition to your haircare routine. This proven DHT blocker stops (as the name suggests) the hormone DHT from damaging your hair follicles. Used alone, DHT-blocking shampoo may have a modest effect on your hair - when combined with Biotin, Minoxidil and Finasteride, the results can be improved.
