Finasteride competes with DHT at the receptor (graphic)
For the scientists in our group who are interested in how the drug works, finasteride is a competitive inhibitor to DHT and the effectiveness of this is shown in the graph below. Note that the inhibition works even at lower doses. The degree of inhibition at the AR receptor does not correlate directly with the effectiveness of the dose based on clinical finding; however it is nevertheless close to the degree of inhibition.
