Finasteride in Tijuana
FDA-approved finasteride for male pattern baldness and BPH. Stop hair loss at its hormonal source with physician-supervised treatment.
What is Finasteride?
Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that blocks the enzymatic conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the androgen primarily responsible for miniaturizing hair follicles in genetically susceptible men. Originally approved as Proscar 5 mg in 1992 for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), the 1 mg dose (Propecia) received FDA approval in 1997 for androgenetic alopecia and remains the gold-standard oral treatment for male pattern baldness.
At Vive Med Spa, our board-certified physicians prescribe pharmaceutical-grade finasteride sourced from COFEPRIS- registered pharmacies in Tijuana. Each protocol begins with a complete medical history, baseline labs, fertility counseling, and honest discussion of potential side effects. We routinely combine finasteride with oral minoxidil, PRP therapy, and microneedling for comprehensive hair restoration outcomes.
Finasteride Protocols Available
Propecia (Finasteride 1 mg)
FDA-approved dose for androgenetic alopecia in men. Daily oral tablet blocks scalp DHT and slows hair loss progression.
Proscar (Finasteride 5 mg)
Higher dose approved for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Sometimes prescribed off-label for severe hair loss with physician oversight.
Compounded Finasteride 0.25 mg + 0.5 mg
Sub-clinical doses for men sensitive to standard 1 mg therapy. Allows gradual titration with fewer side effects.
Combined Hair Restoration Protocol
Finasteride paired with oral minoxidil, topical 5% minoxidil, microneedling, and PRP for comprehensive results.
Contraindications and Safety
Finasteride is contraindicated in women of childbearing potential, pregnant women, and pediatric patients. Men with known hypersensitivity to finasteride, severe liver disease, or obstructive uropathy should not use this medication. Baseline PSA is recommended in men over 40 since finasteride reduces PSA by approximately 50%, which can mask prostate cancer screening results. Sexual side effects (decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculate volume reduction) occur in 1-3% of users and are typically reversible upon discontinuation.
All finasteride prescriptions at Vive Med Spa follow FDA, COFEPRIS, and NOM-241-SSA-2020 clinical guidelines. Every patient signs informed consent acknowledging potential side effects. Pregnant women should not handle crushed or broken finasteride tablets due to transdermal absorption risk to male fetuses.
