It may stop it, it might make it worse, but its probably the only thing that is going to stopp your hairloss. Only one way to know...

finasteride won't make your hair worse. If anything, it'll maintain your baseline. You might experience shedding on finasteride and it can take up to a year or more for some of those shed hairs to regrow.

People who claim that finasteride made their hair worse drop the drug altogether at the first symptoms of Telogen Effluvium. This is problematic because by dropping finasteride, there's nothing to inhibit the local 5ar production that would otherwise upregulate DHT production. This in turn allows DHT binding and causes further damage and loss in addition to the Telogen Effluvium. Consequently, someone who had a shed on finasteride will continue to lose hair and they falsely accuse finasteride of worsening their male pattern baldness when in actuality it was their discontinuation of finasteride that made their hair worse. When you shed hair on finasteride, those hairs are only transitioning to a different phase. Shedding =/= hair loss in the case of finasteride.

There is some evidence of finasteride accelerating male pattern baldness, but it is very uncommon

Shedding before Finasteride is called balding.
