Frequently asked questions

Begin intake
How long until I see results?

It varies. Three months or more of daily use may be needed before any benefit shows, so judge progress over several months.

What happens if I stop taking it?

The benefit reverses. Hair that was held onto is generally lost within about a year of stopping, so finasteride works best as an ongoing routine.

Can finasteride cause sexual side effects?

Some men report lower sex drive, erection problems or less semen. These were uncommon in studies, but tell your provider if you notice them.

Does finasteride affect mood?

Mood changes, including depression, have been reported. Tell your provider about any history of mood concerns, and about any changes after you start.

Is finasteride for women?

No. Finasteride is used for male pattern hair loss in men, and it is not appropriate during pregnancy. Women who are or may be pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets.

Does finasteride affect PSA tests?

Yes. Finasteride lowers PSA levels, so tell any provider who orders a PSA test that you take it.

Finasteride or minoxidil: which is right?

They work differently. Finasteride lowers DHT, while minoxidil is applied to the scalp, or taken as a tablet, to support regrowth. Some men use both, and your provider decides.

What is included with a Pep’d prescription?

Provider review of your intake, ongoing messaging with your care team, and a personalized plan. If prescribed, medication ships from a licensed pharmacy.

Do I need an in-person visit to get started?

No. You complete your intake online and a licensed provider reviews it. Your provider will tell you if anything more is needed.

Is insurance required to get started?

No. Pep’d operates outside of insurance, and insurance is not required to get started.

Is finasteride available in every state?

Availability varies by state. Your intake will confirm what is available where you live.

Can my provider change my plan over time?

Yes. Your provider can adjust your plan based on how you respond and how you tolerate treatment.

How does delivery work?

If you’re prescribed, a licensed pharmacy ships your medication to your door.
