Finasteride for Male Pattern Hair Loss (Supplied Under PGD)
If you’re experiencing hair thinning or male pattern hair loss, effective treatment is available at our Burton on Trent pharmacy. We can supply Finasteride tablets under a Patient Group Direction (PGD).
This means you can receive this treatment directly from our pharmacist without a doctor’s prescription or appointment — fast, safe and convenient.
Finasteride is a clinically proven treatment for hair loss that helps slow down hair thinning, protect existing hair, and support regrowth in many men.
What Is Male Pattern Hair Loss?
Male pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia) is the most common form of hair loss in men. It typically causes:
- Receding hairline
- Thinning on the crown
- Gradual reduction of overall hair density
Hair loss usually starts in adulthood and becomes more noticeable over time.
Hormones such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT) play a key role in this process — and this is where Finasteride can help.
What Is Finasteride?
Finasteride is an oral medication that helps reduce levels of DHT in the scalp.
DHT is a hormone that binds to hair follicles and causes them to shrink over time — leading to thinner, weaker hair and eventual hair loss.
By lowering DHT, Finasteride can:
- Slow down hair loss
- Preserve existing hair
- Support thicker, stronger regrowth for many men
Finasteride is approved for use in male pattern hair loss and widely recommended by hair specialists and dermatologists.
