Finasteride
Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase Type II inhibitor. It blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the androgen responsible for shrinking hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By lowering DHT at the follicle, finasteride may slow hair loss and support regrowth in patients with active follicles.
$35/mooral 1 mg program
Best for: Adult men with androgenetic alopecia and active follicles in the affected area.

What it is
FDA-approved oral finasteride 1 mg, the most-studied medication for pattern hair loss. NuHealth also offers a compounded topical option combining finasteride with minoxidil when your provider determines that fits.
Timeline
Months 1 to 3 are typically uneventful. Months 3 to 6 most patients describe slowed shedding. Months 6 to 12 is when new regrowth at active follicles, when it occurs, often becomes visible.
Monitoring
Structured check-ins to assess response and side effects, with direct provider messaging between visits. If side effects are limiting, your provider can adjust formulation, lower dose, or discontinue.
Safety: Most patients tolerate finasteride well. Sexual side effects (decreased libido, erectile changes) are the most-discussed risks. For most patients these resolve when the medication is stopped. A small subset describes persistent symptoms (PFS); your provider discusses this honestly before you start.
Start in under 20 minutes.
Free consultation
A 20-minute telehealth call with a board-certified provider. Cover your medical history, current medications, family pattern, and any concerns about side effects. No credit card required.
Discreet shipping
If finasteride is appropriate, your prescription ships from a state-licensed pharmacy in plain packaging. Topical compounded preparations are prepared by our 503A pharmacy partner.
Oral or topical
Your provider walks through tradeoffs (systemic exposure, daily routine, side-effect profile) and recommends oral 1 mg, compounded topical with minoxidil, or a combination.
Ongoing check-ins
Structured check-ins to assess response and side effects. Direct provider messaging between visits. If something isn’t working, you adjust.

Do you qualify?
Most adult men with pattern hair loss are candidates.
- Confirmed or clinically evident pattern of androgenetic hair loss.
- Active follicles in the affected area — finasteride does not regenerate fully dormant follicles.
- Prepared to take it consistently, long-term to maintain any effect achieved.
Finasteride is contraindicated in pregnancy and tablets must not be handled by pregnant women. Final eligibility is determined by your NuHealth provider after a 20-minute consultation and a review of your medical history.

Common questions. Clear answers.
Three topics, in plain language. If you don’t see your question, the consultation is the place to ask it.
How the program works
Is finasteride the same as Propecia?
Yes. Finasteride 1 mg is the FDA-approved generic of Propecia. Same active ingredient, same manufacturing standards, lower cost.
Will finasteride work for me?
Finasteride may slow hair loss and support regrowth at active follicles in genetically predisposed adults. It does not work for everyone, and it does not regrow hair on completely dormant follicles. Your provider helps assess fit at the consultation.
How long until I see results?
Most patients describe seeing slowed hair loss within 3 to 6 months. New regrowth at active follicles, when it occurs, often becomes visible 6 to 12 months in. Consistency matters. Daily use is required for ongoing effect.
Pricing and insurance
What's included in the monthly plan?
Medication, provider review, follow-up check-ins, and direct provider messaging. Topical compounded formulations may be priced differently. Your provider walks you through everything at the consultation.
Is this covered by insurance?
NuHealth doesn't currently bill insurance for the hair-and-skin program. The $35/month cash price is fully transparent. HSA and FSA are accepted where eligible.
Safety and side effects
What about sexual side effects and PFS?
Some patients experience decreased libido or erectile changes. For most, these resolve when the medication is stopped. A small subset of patients describe persistent symptoms (referred to as post-finasteride syndrome, or PFS). This is contested in medical literature but real to those affected. Your provider discusses your specific concerns at consultation.
Can I stop finasteride once it’s working?
Stopping the medication typically leads to gradual return of the prior hair-loss pattern over 6 to 12 months. Finasteride manages an ongoing condition rather than curing it.
The next step
A 20-minute call. Then the long view.
Start with the free assessment. A board-certified provider reviews your history, walks through honest expectations, and prescribes when appropriate. No credit card to start.
