What is Finasteride used for?

Finasteride is primarily used for hair loss treatment in men, helping to slow down or stop hair loss and promote regrowth. It is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition that enlarges the prostate gland. Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is linked to hair loss and prostate enlargement.

What precautions apply to Finasteride?

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 treatment. Store Finasteride 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 avoid alcohol while taking Finasteride, as it can increase the risk of side effects. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
