Finasteride has lower efficacy in patients over 40 years old and in patients with advanced N-H scale (over N-H: IV) at the first visit. 532 cases in 10 year Long-term(10-year)AGAtreatmentwithfinasteride1mg/daydemonstratedahighefficacyandsafety based on subjective and objective evaluations in Japanese men. The group with N-H:I/II/III at the first visit showed greater improvement than the group with N-H: IV/V/ VI/VII at first visit, following 10 years of AGA treatment with finasteride.
