Drug Mechanism of Action – How Does Finasteride work?

Hair grows from hair follicles present on the scalp. A hair typically grows from each hair follicle for a period of three years. After this period, this hair is then shed and a new hair grows from the follicle. Due to balding conditions, the affected hair follicles slowly become smaller than the standard length. This results in the thinning of new hair and premature shedding. This ultimately leads to a much smaller hair follicle and thin hair that does not grow past the skin surface.
These changes in hair follicle size and hair thinning are caused by male hormones such as DTH (dihydrotestosterone). Enzymes in the hair follicles convert testosterone (the primary male hormone) into DTH. Hair follicles become more sensitive to dihydrotestosterone. The presence of DTH on the scalp causes the shrinkage of hair follicles and results in the reduction of their length.
Generic Finasteride is a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound, which specifically inhibits the enzyme required for the conversion of the male testosterone hormone into DHT. This results in decreased levels of DHT in the scalp, which is beneficial to prevent balding and further hair loss in men.
