- Abstract
- Finasteride, an inhibitor of type II 5 α-reductase, inhibits conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), resulting hi a decrease hi serum and scalp DHT levels which are believed to be pathogenic in androgenic alopecia. Oral finasteride has been shown to be effective hi the treatment of hair loss in men, while its efficacy in women has remained controversial. Herein, we report 10 cases of female patterned hair loss in postmenopausal women treated with 1 mg/day of finasteride.
