Finasteride

DHT INHIBITORS

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a derivative of testosterone that plays a key role in the development of androgenetic alopecia. It binds to hair follicles, causing them to shrink, weaken, and eventually stop producing hair. DHT blockers inhibit the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to DHT.
