Does taking Finax 1 mg (finasteride) for male pattern hair loss increase female hormones in the body, and what are the potential side effects of this medication?
Finasteride works by lowering dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for hair loss, rather than directly increasing female hormones. While a very slight change in estrogen balance can occasionally occur, it is rare and usually not noticeable. Most men tolerate this medication very well. Potential side effects can include mild, temporary changes in sexual drive or function, which affect only a small percentage of users and typically resolve if the medication is stopped.
