Scientific Evidence

Finasteride, the active ingredient in Penester, works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, finasteride helps to reverse the balding process and stimulate hair regrowth.

Clinical trials have shown that finasteride is effective in promoting hair growth and slowing hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology demonstrated that finasteride significantly increased hair counts and improved hair growth compared to a placebo.

Additional Information

It may take several months of continuous use to see the full benefits of Penester. If treatment is stopped, any hair gained during therapy will be lost over 12 months.

Discuss with your healthcare provider about the potential side effects of Penester, which may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased ejaculate volume.
