Is Finasteride responsible for massive hair loss? I started it a month ago.

Finasteride blocks testosterone from becoming the active hormone which causes hair loss. I suspect this is your natural male pattern balding blooming, but you should talk to your doctor about this situation. Consider minoxidil and PRP/ACell injections in the future.Best wishes, Dr. ALDO

I can’t say what’s going on in your specific case but certainly many users of finasteride experience an initial shed for the first several months. This is not uncommon. But keep in mind there are actually many reasons for hair loss and increased shedding besides finasteride... so if things don’t improve or your concerned persist, please see a physician for review.

Some people report that when they start finasteride, they get an increased shed of their hair. It usually reverses in a couple of months
