Finasteride is suitable for you if you see your hair loss as a problem. It's best for those who are experiencing the earlier signs of male pattern baldness or wanting to prevent further hair loss in the future. It's not suitable for you if you've experienced extensive hair loss already or if you're trying to conceive as it can reduce the sperm count and be excreted in the semen.
