Two formats. One goal: less DHT.

A provider-prescribed approach to male pattern hair loss - available as a once-daily oral finasteride tablet that may lower DHT by about 70%, or a compounded 5-active topical gel that targets the scalp locally with potentially lower systemic exposure.*

Active Ingredients: Finasteride. Available as a compounded topical formula (with Minoxidil, Tretinoin, Fluocinolone, Biotin) or FDA-approved oral tablet (Finasteride 1mg).

Finasteride

Minoxidil (Topical)

Two Ways to Target DHT at the Source

Male pattern hair loss is driven by DHT, lowering it may help slow loss and support regrowth. Choose the route that fits you: a simple once-daily finasteride tablet, or a compounded 5-active topical gel for localized, lower-systemic support.*

Oral Finasteride 1mg

A type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. May lower DHT by approximately 70% to help slow loss and support regrowth. One tablet daily.*

5-Active Topical

A compounded gel combining finasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, fluocinolone, and biotin. Applied to the scalp directly with potentially lower systemic exposure than oral options. Applied once daily.*

Potential Benefits

Both formats target DHT, the primary hormone behind male pattern hair loss, in the routine that fits you, whether that's a simple daily tablet or a multi-active topical.*

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is a prescription Type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT, the hormone most associated with male pattern hair loss.*

How does Finasteride work for hair loss?

Finasteride may reduce DHT levels by approximately 70%, lowering the hormonal signal that drives follicle miniaturization, which may help slow the visible thinning that follows.*

How long does Finasteride take to work?

It may take 3 to 6 months to begin seeing results, and up to 12 months for full results. Consistency is the most important variable.*

Is Finasteride available as a topical?

Yes. Strut offers Finasteride as either an oral tablet or a compounded 5-in-1 topical formula that pairs finasteride with minoxidil, tretinoin, fluocinolone, and biotin for a single nightly application to the scalp.

What is the difference between Finasteride and Dutasteride?

Finasteride blocks Type 2 5-alpha reductase only, while Dutasteride blocks both Type 1 and Type 2. Your healthcare provider will help decide which option is appropriate for you.

Can women take Finasteride?

No. Finasteride is a medication for men only. Women who are or may become pregnant should never use or handle finasteride-containing medications due to risk of fetal harm.

What happens if I stop taking Finasteride?

DHT levels return to baseline over time after stopping, and the hair benefits achieved while on therapy will gradually be lost. Ongoing use is required to maintain results.

Is Finasteride FDA-approved for hair loss?

Oral Finasteride 1mg is FDA-approved for the treatment of male pattern hair loss. Compounded topical Finasteride is not FDA-approved and is prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy under healthcare provider supervision.

Can I use Finasteride with other hair loss treatments?

In most cases, yes. Share any topical or oral hair-loss treatments you already use with your Strut provider, who can review your routine.

What are the side effects of Finasteride?

Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, decreased semen volume, breast tenderness or enlargement, and mood changes. See the safety information on this page.

How much does the online visit cost?

The online visits are typically complimentary. You only pay for the medication if a Strut provider determines treatment is appropriate.

Who is a good candidate for Finasteride treatment?

Adult men experiencing male pattern hair loss with active follicles still present. Your Strut provider will review your intake and medical history to determine whether Finasteride is appropriate for you.
