Androgenetic alopecia more commonly known as pattern hair loss, is a prevalent condition in Canada, affects approximately 50% of men by the age of 50.

Moreover, studies have indicated that about 65-70% of men experience visible hair regrowth or stabilization after 6-12 months of use.

Frequently asked questions
What is Finasteride and how does it work?
Finasteride, available as Propecia and Proscar is a type of medication used for men to treat hair loss as a result of androgenetic alopecia and enlarged prostates in men. It is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which acts by preventing the conversion of testosterone to DHT, preventing hair loss.
How can I refill my Finasteride prescription?
You can renew your Finasteride prescription by visiting our virtual doctor on our telehealth platform. To refill your prescription, simply connect with one of our online doctors and after reviewing your medical history, they will send an electronic prescription to your local pharmacy.
How can you get Finasteride prescribed in Canada?
Our licensed-Canadian doctor can prescribe Finasteride online if clinically appropriate for your condition. You will also be able to receive prescription refills, depending on the duration of the treatment.
Does Finasteride expire?
Like other medications, Finasteride does expire. The expiration date is usually listed near the batch number on the prescription bottle or on the pharmacy label. If you can’t find the expiry listed, it’s typically considered to expire one year from the date of dispensing.
How much does Finasteride cost in Canada?
In Canada, the generic version of finasteride costs $.83 per 1mg tablet.
Does Finasteride lower your testosterone?
No, Finasteride actually increases your testosterone levels. By blocking the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase which converts testosterone to another hormone , it actually increases testosterone levels in the body, which leads to a decrease in prostate size and increases hair growth on the scalp.
Who should not take Finasteride?
Finasteride is normally contraindicated with those who have Prostate cancer, Liver disease or abnormal liver function tests. Moreover, Finasteride tablets should never be taken by a woman or a child.
What are the side effects and risks of Finasteride?
Although side effects are uncommon at low dosages, some may experience a loss of sex drive, anxiety, depression, trouble having an erection, light headedness and swelling in hands and feet. If the sexual dysfunction persists it can lead to worsening anxiety or depression and even suicidal behaviours. Talk to your doctor if you experience any persisting or worsening side effects.
