Why can't women use finasteride for hair loss?
We all know that hair loss is not uncommon in today's society, because almost everyone faces similar problems. But although hair loss exists in everyone, compared with previous years, hair loss will be treated more and more effectively. Among them, we know hair transplantation and drug treatment. When hair follicles are not completely closed, You can try drug therapy. There are two kinds of drug therapy: minoxidil and finasteride, of which finasteride cannot be used for women, which makes many women with hair loss puzzled. So today, let's have a deep understanding of finasteride.
First, what is finasteride?
In fact, we have more or less heard of finasteride (called finasteride for short). It is a 4-azasteroid compound, an intracellular enzyme type II, that is, a specific inhibitor of 5a reductase, in the process of testosterone metabolism to stronger dihydrotestosterone. This drug can effectively reduce dihydrotestosterone in blood and prostate, And finasteride has no affinity to androgen receptor. In addition, finasteride is a 5 α reductase inhibitor, which is through its hormonal mechanism of action, that is, it inhibits the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), reduces prostate volume, improves symptoms, increases urinary flow rate, and prevents the progress of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Secondly, why can't women use finasteride?
1. Through the above science popularization, I believe you can also see the clues. Yes, finasteride itself is a male drug used to treat prostate, but when it was inadvertently inserted into willows, some patients found that it had a good therapeutic effect on hair loss after taking it, so it spread. After FDA certification, men take 1mg of finale every day, which can treat hair loss and has very good effect!
2. The mechanism of Fina is that male prostate organs and female androgen levels are too low. Fina is ineffective for female hair loss treatment, and may even cause damage to the reproductive system, leading to infertility. And pregnant women may cause fetal malformation even if they only touch! Except for women, it is also forbidden for people over 60 years old and children under 18 years old.
