Male pattern baldness, known medically as androgenetic alopecia, affects around half of all men by the age of 50 in the UK. \u003cstrong\u003eFinasteride 1mg\u003c\/strong\u003e, sold under the brand name Propecia, is a clinically established prescription-only treatment that works to slow hair loss and, in many cases, encourage regrowth. Available from Cured Pharmacy for £49.99, it's one of the most widely used oral treatments for this condition.

Male pattern hair loss is driven largely by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone derived from testosterone. DHT binds to receptors in scalp hair follicles, causing them to miniaturise over time — producing thinner, shorter hairs until the follicle eventually stops producing hair altogether.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFinasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (specifically type II), which converts testosterone into DHT.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBy blocking this conversion, finasteride reduces DHT levels in the scalp by approximately 60–70%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLower DHT levels allow hair follicles to recover and resume a more normal growth cycle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe result, over months of consistent use, is a slowing of hair loss and potential regrowth in affected areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's worth noting that finasteride does not work overnight.
