The most evidence-backed combination for male pattern baldness is finasteride (1mg/day) plus minoxidil (topical or oral). This dual approach attacks hair loss from two angles — blocking DHT and stimulating follicle growth.
Hair growth is slow. Most users see a stabilization of hair loss within 3–6 months. Visible regrowth typically appears at the 6–12 month mark. Consistency is critical — stopping treatment usually leads to reversal of gains within 12 months.
Yes. Multiple licensed telehealth platforms operating in Canada offer online consultations for hair loss. A physician reviews your information and can issue a finasteride prescription that is filled at a Canadian pharmacy and delivered to your door.
Finasteride is generally not prescribed for women of childbearing age due to risk of birth defects if pregnant. Women are typically recommended minoxidil, spironolactone, or other alternatives. A licensed provider will guide you to the appropriate option.
Generic finasteride costs $20–$50/month through a Canadian pharmacy. Minoxidil (topical) is $15–$30/month. Oral minoxidil is $25–$45/month. Telehealth consultation fees are typically $0–$50 and may be covered by benefits plans.
The most common cause in both sexes is androgenetic alopecia (genetic pattern baldness), driven by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) sensitivity. Other causes include thyroid disorders, nutritional deficiencies, stress (telogen effluvium), and autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata.
