Propecia Tablets

Propecia contains the active ingredient finasteride 1mg, a prescription medication specifically developed to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). This daily oral tablet works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone), the hormone responsible for hair follicle miniaturisation in genetically susceptible men. Treatment requires online consultation with a UK-registered clinician to ensure suitability.
Complete a short online consultation so our prescriber can confirm the treatment suits you.
The decision to supply the specific treatment and quantity requested will be based on whether our medical team are satisfied that it will be safe, appropriate, and effective.
