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.

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.
