Finasteride, a selective 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, is primarily prescribed to treat androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). These diseases are characterized by the miniaturization of hair follicles, leading to hair follicles that are eventually unable to produce new hair.
Initially developed as a hair-loss treatment, finasteride was later approved for hair restoration in the USA as a solution to reduce hair loss. It was known that finasteride works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to hair loss and hair follicle miniaturization. By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps to slow down the progression of hair loss, thereby promoting hair regrowth and improving overall hair quality.
The first oral finasteride was approved for hair loss in the US in 1992, with initial FDA approval noted for male pattern baldness in 1997. Following multiple clinical trials, FDA approval was subsequently granted for hair restoration in 2018, with ongoing ongoing clinical trials focused on male pattern baldness and BPH.
Finasteride is expected to continue to dominate market dynamics in the hair loss treatment market. With ongoing research and advancements in hair loss treatments, the market is poised for steady growth, driven by several key factors.
Hair loss in men can significantly impact hair regrowth and thickness, leading to an increase in hair loss episodes. This increased hair loss is often characterized by an increase in hair follicles, leading to a decrease in hair density and a loss of hair diameter. For this reason, men considering finasteride treatment must carefully consider its potential benefits and risks.
Studies have shown that finasteride may directly affect hair follicle growth, potentially slowing down or even stopping hair loss. This direct effect can lead to increased hair shedding and thinner hair strands, thereby lowering the overall hair growth rate and promoting hair regrowth.
Propecia, a type of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, is associated with a decrease in hair density and decreased hair loss. Studies have shown that finasteride may indirectly affect hair follicles by reducing the production of DHT, which can potentially contribute to hair loss.
Hair loss often leads to hair loss, which can be attributed to a reduction in hair density as well as a loss of hair thinning. Hair follicles are increasingly capable of carrying out multiple functions, leading to thicker hair strands and a decrease in hair diameter.
Studies indicate that finasteride may indirectly impact hair progression, potentially slowing down or even stopping hair loss. This reduction in hair regrowth can contribute to improved hair structure and a decrease in hair thinning hair, thereby promoting hair growth and preventing further hair loss.
The global finasteride market is anticipated to witness substantial growth over the forecast period. This growth is driven by increasing awareness about and the reduction in healthcare costs associated with finasteride, as well as the ease of obtaining the medication through telehealth services.
Generic Name: Finasteride
PronunciationFin-AS-Pro-DAS-Ser-Aurea
Brand name(s) Finasteride
Mechanism of Action
Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme that converts 5 alpha-reductase to DAR. This enzyme converts the conversion of testosterone into DAR, which then binds to DAR receptors in the scalp and causes an increase in the concentration of DAR. This increase in DAR levels causes hair to stop producing and/or reducing the volume of hair produced. Inhibiting DAR can result in decreased or increased hair growth and increased hair loss.
