Finasteride

Finasteride is a medication that is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness. It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that is responsible for the enlargement of the prostate gland and the miniaturization of hair follicles in male pattern baldness.

In the treatment of BPH, finasteride helps to reduce the size of the prostate gland and improve urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty in starting and stopping the flow of urine.
In the treatment of male pattern baldness, finasteride can help to slow or stop hair loss and promote the growth of new hair.

Key Benefits

• Treatment of hair loss
  Finasteride has been shown to be effective in treating male pattern hair loss by reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can contribute to hair loss.

• Treatment of enlarged prostate
  Finasteride is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition where the prostate gland becomes enlarged and can cause problems with urination.

• Reduced risk of prostate cancer
  Some studies have suggested that finasteride may help to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

• Improved urinary flow
  Finasteride can help to improve urinary flow in men with BPH, reducing symptoms like difficulty starting urination and frequent urination.
