Finasteride (5mg)
Active composition
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth and hair loss.
Medical applications
Fincar Tablet contains Finasteride 5mg, a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness. Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate enlargement and hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Fincar helps shrink the enlarged prostate, improving urinary flow and reducing symptoms such as difficulty in urination, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying. Additionally, it promotes hair regrowth and prevents further hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia. Fincar is typically prescribed for adult males and should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional, usually once daily with or without food. It is important to note that the medication may take several months to show noticeable effects, and continuous use is necessary to maintain benefits. Side effects are generally mild but can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness. Fincar is contraindicated in women, especially during pregnancy, as it can cause birth defects. Patients should inform their doctor of any allergies, medical conditions, or other medications before starting Fincar. Regular follow-up is advised to monitor efficacy and safety.
