Uses & Benefits
Medical applications
Finpecia Tablet contains Finasteride 1mg, a medication primarily used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Elevated levels of DHT are responsible for hair follicle shrinkage, leading to hair thinning and eventual hair loss in genetically predisposed men. By reducing DHT levels, Finpecia helps to slow hair loss and promote hair regrowth in the scalp's affected areas.
