Finasteride (Proscar) Description :
Finasteride is a popular anti-androgen medication manufactured by Merck most commonly known as either Proscar or Propecia. Based on the progesterone skeleton, Finasteride belongs to a class of medications known as 5alpha-reductase inhibitors and as such is used for the treatment revolving around type 2 5-AR based occurrences.
This is important for performance enhancers as DHT based anabolic steroids have specific side-effects that may occur that can largely be remedied with the use of a 5-AR inhibitor such as Finasteride.
As a type 2 5-AR inhibitor Finasteride was designed for the purpose of treating hair-loss, prostate enlargement, as well as prostate cancer.
Finasteride is very common among those who supplement with anabolic steroids yet fear hair-loss but there are important things you need to understand before you consider Finasteride use. As an androgen suppressor Finasteride can seriously inhibit the gains made while on cycle, severely and on that basis it is not highly recommended for on-cycle hair preservation.

As measured by hair counts, in a five-year study of men with mild to moderate hair loss, two out of three of the men who took 1 mg of finasteride daily regrew some hair. In contrast, all of the men in the study who were not taking finasteride lost hair. In the same study, based on photographs that were reviewed by an independent panel of dermatologists, 48% of those treated with finasteride experienced visible regrowth of hair, and a further 42% had no further loss. Average hair count in the treatment group remained above baseline, and showed an increasing difference from hair count in the placebo group, for all five years of the study. Finasteride is effective only for as long as it is taken; the hair gained or maintained is lost within 6-12 months of ceasing therapy. In clinical studies, finasteride, like minoxidil, was shown to work on both the crown area and the hairline, but is most successful in the crown area.
