Finasteride in Singapore (1mg) – Prescription Hair Loss Treatment

How to Get Finasteride in Singapore

Hair loss affects many men in Singapore, and finasteride is one of the most effective medical treatments available for male pattern baldness.

If you are considering finasteride in Singapore, it’s important to understand how it works, how much it costs, and the legal requirements for obtaining it. This guide covers everything you need to know before starting treatment.

How Much Does Finasteride Cost in Singapore?

The cost of finasteride in Singapore depends on the provider and consultation method.

Typical costs include:

• Finasteride 1mg: From $2 per dose
• Online doctor consultation: $20-60
• In-clinic consultation: $80-120

Most men choose licensed telemedicine clinics as they often offer lower consultation fees, convenience, and discreet delivery while providing the same regulated medication.

Do I Need a Prescription for Finasteride in Singapore?

Yes. Finasteride is a prescription-only medication in Singapore.

This is because:

• It is regulated by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA)
• A doctor must assess whether finasteride is suitable for you
• Medical supervision is required to monitor for potential side effects

Finasteride cannot be purchased over the counter, and self-medication is not recommended due to safety concerns.

Why Doctors Prescribe Finasteride

Doctors commonly prescribe finasteride because it is:

• A DHT blocker that targets the root cause of male pattern baldness
• Clinically proven, with studies showing hair loss stabilisation in over 80% of men
• Effective for regrowth, with around 60% experiencing visible improvement
• Backed by decades of research and long-term safety data
• Simple to take, with once-daily oral dosing

Who Should Not Take Finasteride?

Finasteride may not be suitable if you:

• Are under 18 years old
• Have liver disease
• Have prostate cancer or are at high risk
• Have a history of depression or mental health conditions
• Are planning pregnancy with a partner (due to handling precautions for pregnant women)

A licensed doctor will assess your medical history before prescribing finasteride.

When Will I See Results from Finasteride?

Month 1

• No visible regrowth yet
• DHT suppression begins internally
• Some men notice reduced hair shedding

Months 3-6

• Reduced shedding becomes more noticeable
• Early visible improvement in some men

Most results become noticeable after 3-6 months, with optimal results at 12 months of consistent use.
