Generic Propecia and Rogaine
The gold standard for hair loss treatment. Finasteride is a tablet you take daily. It prevents testosterone from breaking down into DHT, a hormone that causes hair loss. Minoxidil is a topical ointment that promotes hair growth. Both are approved by Health Canada. Together, they’re extra effective at preventing hair loss and even regrowing hair.
Finasteride combined with minoxidil has been shown to reduce male-pattern hair loss in 94% of men.
Finasteride is a pill you take daily. Minoxidil is a topical gel that you apply twice a day.
Both finasteride and minoxidil are well-tolerated by most men. Our medical professionals help ensure these medications are right for you.
Together, finasteride and minoxidil help keep both your hair and your confidence.
I first noticed that I was losing my hair when I was 16, and by the time I was 18 it had progressed rapidly. I looked into Essential Clinic because I hated that I was losing my hair at such a young age, and they've given me my youth back. Within a year I've already had amazing results, my hair loss has been completely halted and I've had significant regrowth.
BEFORE
NOWI was losing 20 - 30 hairs in the shower (just on my hand). I decided to use finasteride. Fortunately my fallout reduced to now where I see 5 - 10 hairs in my hand while showering. Visually, my hair is much better. Improved density overall.
BEFORE
NOWI always had thinner hair, but into my mid 20’s I was getting a noticeable bald spot on the top of my head. I was always under the impression that treatments for balding were mostly a money grab, but I figured I should at least try something before giving up. After some research I stumbled upon Essential Clinic and I’m incredibly happy I did!
BEFORE
NOWThis mid 20s male started noticing gradual hair loss. He began taking finasteride and slowly started to see results after three months. A couple years later there is marked increase in hair density. Continued use of finasteride will help maintain and improve density.
BEFORE
NOWI started noticing hair loss at 17. I visited a dermatologist who prescribed me finasteride and recommended laser therapy. After taking finasteride for 6 months, hair loss was reduced, and more importantly, I retained my hair. The receding hairline was also under control. I'm happy that I started finasteride before it was too late.
BEFORE
NOWMy friends told me about a balding spot at the back of my head around 2009. I started noticing receding front hairline in 2011. Thankfully I got in contact with Essential Clinic around 2020, I started treatment and the improvement within a year has been remarkable. I highly recommend them!

With the kit, you double your hair growth power. Finasteride is the generic version of Propecia. It prevents testosterone from forming DHT—a hormone that damages hair follicles and causes hair loss. Minoxidil is generic Rogaine. It dilates blood vessels so hair follicles get the nutrients they need to stay healthy. When taken together, they work in conjunction to give you dual hair growth power.
You can buy minoxidil online from Essential Clinic. To get finasteride in Canada, you’ll need a prescription. We offer online hair loss consultations with licensed medical providers right here at Essential Clinic. If you’re approved, you’ll get a prescription and can buy finasteride right away.

But you may prefer another treatment option. Share your preferences with our medical practitioners and they’ll help you find the ideal hair loss treatment for you.
Finasteride blocks testosterone from breaking down into DHT. DHT can damage hair follicles and contribute to hair loss, so finasteride helps reduce DHT and protect hair. Minoxidil works by dilating blood vessels, allowing more nutrients to reach the hair. Taking these medications daily helps support hair to grow thick and healthy.
Yes, both are approved by Health Canada and well-tolerated by most guys. Minoxidil is well-known for having very few side effects, although it can cause itching, irritation, and temporary hair shedding. Finasteride can lead to sexual side effects in a small percentage of men, but they are usually reversible. Finasteride and minoxidil are considered safe to use together.
Finasteride pills usually come in 1mg doses. For best results, take the pill around the same time every day. Minoxidil comes in a 5% concentration in a topical gel. You apply it directly to the scalp twice a day. When you use these products consistently, you should see results in between 3 and 6 months.
