What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is a medication used to treat hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). This oral medication works by reducing hormone levels in the body. Finasteride is available from Towa Pharmaceutical S.A.

What is Finasteride used for?

Finasteride is primarily used to treat male pattern hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is a hormone linked to hair loss and prostate enlargement. This medication is often prescribed to men experiencing hair thinning or loss, as well as those with symptoms of BPH, such as frequent urination or difficulty urinating.

What are the side effects of Finasteride?

Common effects of Finasteride may include a reduction in hair loss and potentially regrowth of hair in some individuals. For those using it to treat BPH, it may help alleviate symptoms such as frequent urination and improve urinary flow. It is important to note that individual results may vary, and it may take several months to see noticeable effects.

What precautions apply to Finasteride?

Finasteride should be handled with care, especially by women and children. It is not recommended for use by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant, as it can cause birth defects in male fetuses. Always store Finasteride out of reach of children and follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by a healthcare professional.

What does Finasteride interact with?

Finasteride may interact with other medications, including those that affect hormone levels or are metabolized by the liver. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Additionally, alcohol consumption should be moderated while using Finasteride, as it may exacerbate certain side effects.
