About hair loss treatment
Hair loss tablets are a type of medicine used to treat male
pattern baldness, or androgenetic alopecia. Male pattern
baldness a hereditary condition that causes hair follicles to
weaken, which prevents them from growing new hairs. Hair loss
tablets allow you follicles to continue growing healthy hair and
can help promote regrowth in areas you’ve already lost hair.
Hair loss happens when a hormone called dihydrotestosterone
(DHT), which is formed from testosterone, causes your hair
follicles to shrink. Our hair loss tablets are a type of drug
known as a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It stops the action of
the enzyme that creates DHT, which allows your follicles to
continue growing healthy hair. It can also help promote regrowth
in areas you’ve already lost hair.
Hair loss tablets stop DHT production immediately, helping you see visible results within 3–6 months.

Hair follicles need time to produce new hairs. With consistent treatment, your hair will continue to grow and become thicker, which will noticeably improve scalp coverage.

Hair loss tablets are effective in 9/10 men. A two year study
followed 535 men taking the medicine and found that 99% of them
experienced visible results — 66% saw hair growth, while 33% had
no additional hair loss, according to a photographic review by
dermatologists.
Take one tablet daily with a glass of water. You can take it with or without food.
Like all medications, hair loss tablets can cause mild side
effects. These are uncommon, and may include: decreased libido,
erectile dysfunction or mood changes.
