What is Finasteride?

Zasterid contains finasteride, a prescription medication used primarily for hair loss and enlarged prostate. It works by blocking a hormone that shrinks hair follicles and enlarges the prostate. This product is for oral use only.

What is Finasteride used for?

Zasterid is commonly used to treat male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. It helps slow hair loss and may promote regrowth in some men. The medication is also prescribed to manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlarged prostate, by reducing prostate size and improving urinary flow.

What are the side effects of Finasteride?

Many users notice a reduction in hair thinning and gradual regrowth over time when using Zasterid for hair loss. For prostate health, it may help relieve symptoms such as frequent urination or difficulty starting urination. Effects can vary, and consistent use is often required to maintain benefits.

What precautions apply to Finasteride?

Zasterid should not be handled by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant due to risk of birth defects. Men using this medication should avoid donating blood while taking it and for at least one month after stopping. Keep the medication in a secure place away from children and pets.

What does Finasteride interact with?

Zasterid may interact with other medications that affect hormone levels or are processed by the liver. It’s important to inform your healthcare provider about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products you use. Alcohol and certain supplements may also influence how Zasterid works in the body.
