What is Finasteride?

Finasteride is a medication used to treat hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by reducing hormone levels in the scalp and prostate, promoting hair growth and easing urinary symptoms.

What is Finasteride used for?

Finasteride is primarily used for hair loss treatment in men, helping to slow down hair thinning and promote regrowth. It is also prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that causes an enlarged prostate. The medication works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is linked to hair loss and prostate enlargement.

Finasteride should be handled with care, especially by women and children. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping the medication. Store the medication in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

What does Finasteride interact with?

Finasteride may interact with other medications, including those metabolized by the liver. It is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol consumption should be moderated while using Finasteride.
