Finasteride NEW

Description: Finasteride is mainly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), commonly known as enlarged prostate, and male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia). In the treatment of BPH, Finasteride can reduce the size of the enlarged prostate, improve urinary flow, and alleviate the symptoms associated with BPH, such as difficulty in starting urination, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently. For male pattern hair loss, Finasteride can help in preventing further hair loss and may promote hair regrowth in some men.

More Info: As a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound, Finasteride operates by inhibiting Type II 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate, liver, and skin. DHT is a key hormone involved in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern hair loss.
