Finasteride is used to treat male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. The FDA has approved this drug for the treatment of hair loss in men. Finasteride belongs to a class of drugs called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors.
Read on to learn more about the medication.
Finasteride is a type of medication that is used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. This type of hair loss is caused by a genetic defect that affects an individual's hair growth cycle. Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss.
Finasteride is a type of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. Finasteride inhibits the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that is associated with hair loss. By reducing the amount of DHT in your body, finasteride helps to slow down the progression of hair loss.
Finasteride is used to treat men with male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia).
Finasteride is available as an oral tablet and an injection. It is not recommended to take finasteride if you are also taking hormone therapy, which can cause an increased risk of cancer, and should be avoided in women or children.
Finasteride may also be prescribed to treat other conditions, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and enlarged prostate (off-label).
Finasteride is not for use in women and children. It is also not approved for use in men.
Finasteride is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. Finasteride is also not approved to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in women or children.

Contains: Finasteride (1mg)About Finasteride (1mg) Finasteride (1mg) is a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. BPH is a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate. Finasteride works by inhibiting the ability of certain hormone receptors toave important messages into the bloodstream. These message-binding proteins (TBPs) bind to the enzyme PDE5 and ultimately lead to the breakdown of the hormone responsible for BPH. BPH can lead to a variety of symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, urinary retention of urine, and acute urinary retention of water. BPH can also cause difficulty in achieving an erection, difficulty in sleeping, and an increased risk of developing a heart condition such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and a slow or irregular heartbeat. Finasteride is not approved for the treatment or prevention of prostate cancer. Finasteride may also be used in the prevention of prostate cancer in men with a BPH history of acute urinary retention of water. BPH is a common condition that affects millions of men each year. BPH is the inability of the prostate gland to produce a urine stream adequate to function. Finasteride is an alpha blocker, meaning it blocks the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for the production of DHT. Finasteride works by blocking the action of 5-alpha-reductase, which reduces the levels of DHT in the body. By reducing the levels of DHT, Finasteride helps to reduce the likelihood of acute urinary retention of water and acute urinary retention of urine. Finasteride can also be used to treat male pattern baldness, an enlarged prostate, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. BPH is a condition characterized by the inability of the prostate gland to produce urine. By reducing the levels of DHT, Finasteride helps to reduce the likelihood of a heart condition such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, and a slow or irregular heartbeat. Finasteride can be used to treat male pattern baldness, an enlarged prostate, and benign prostatic hyperplasia. BPH is the inability of the prostate gland to produce urine. Finasteride is an alpha blocker, meaning it blocks the action of 5-alpha-reductase, which reduces the levels of DHT in the body. By reducing the levels of DHT, Finasteride helps to reduce the likelihood of a heart condition such as a heart attack, a stroke, or irregular heartbeat. BPH is a condition that occurs when the prostate gland does not produce urine. Finasteride is an oral medication, meaning it is taken orally, once or twice a day. It is not recommended for women or children under 18 years of age. In this way, Finasteride helps to reduce the likelihood of a heart condition such as a heart attack, a stroke, or a blockage of the flow of urine from the bladder.

RefreshFinasteride is used to treat men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia. BPH is caused by an enlarged prostate. Men with BPH usually have difficulty urinating, a decreased flow of urination, hesitation at the beginning of urination, and a need to get up at night to urinate. Finasteride will make these symptoms less severe and reduce the chance that prostate surgery will be needed. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines such as an alpha-blocker to treat BPH. For men with hair loss, finasteride will increase the number of scalp hairs but will not increase the amount of body hair.
Finasteride blocks the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme changes testosterone to another hormone that causes the prostate to grow or hair loss in males. It will increase testosterone levels in the body, which decreases prostate size and increases hair growth on the scalp. The effect of finasteride on the prostate and scalp will only last as long as the medicine is taken. When it is stopped, the prostate begins to grow again and the hair will be lost.

Finasteride is a medication primarily prescribed to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness. It is a non-steroidal inhibitor of 5α-reductase which is an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is known to cause hair follicles and prostate enlargement. Finasteride is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness, and it has also been shown to prevent prostate enlargement and hair loss. Finasteride has been linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer, and it can therefore be used as a preventive measure to reduce the risk of this disease in men.
In the United Kingdom (UK), finasteride is sold under a brand name ofProscar(for Prostate) and is available in oral tablets and topical preparations. The recommended starting dose is 1mg, and the effects of finasteride in the body are generally felt to be diminished. The mechanism by which finasteride inhibits DHT in the prostate is not fully understood, but it has been proposed that the drug acts on the prostate gland, slowing down and reducing the production of DHT. The mechanism through which finasteride reduces prostate volume is unknown, but it has been shown to reduce the size of prostate gland by approximately 70% when used as a topical treatment for BPH.
The use of finasteride for hair loss, particularly in men, is associated with a substantial reduction in the prostate volume, which in turn, has been shown to have an important effect on the hair growth cycle. However, it has also been reported that men who use finasteride for hair loss do not appear to have an increased risk of developing prostate cancer, although this risk appears to be greater in men who take finasteride for BPH than in men who are not using finasteride.
The use of finasteride for hair loss in men has been shown to cause a reduction in prostate volume (PV), although the overall size of the prostate is not well established. In a study on the impact of finasteride on prostate volume, researchers observed that men who used finasteride for hair loss experienced a significantly larger prostate volume than men who were not using the medication.
The use of finasteride for hair loss is generally associated with a reduction in prostate volume (PV), but it is not known whether this effect is permanent. Furthermore, the PSA of the prostate does not yet appear to have been extensively studied, and there is little evidence to suggest that finasteride has a role in preventing prostate cancer.
The use of finasteride in men has been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. However, it has also been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer in men who are post-menopausal and have an increased risk of developing this disease. The risk of prostate cancer in men who use finasteride for hair loss has been shown to be independent of age, but men who have had surgery to remove their hair and those who have had a negative prostatectomy report an increased risk of prostate cancer, and this risk is also associated with men who use finasteride for hair loss. It is not known whether the risk of prostate cancer in men who are post-menopausal and have an increased risk of developing this disease is also associated with their use of finasteride for hair loss.
The use of finasteride for hair loss has been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. It is unknown whether this risk is greater in men who have a positive prostatectomy, and it is not known whether this risk is associated with their use of finasteride for hair loss.
Finasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, and its mechanism of action is not fully understood. Finasteride primarily inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is known to cause prostate enlargement and hair loss, which are two of the most common sexual characteristics of men who use finasteride.
It has been hypothesized that finasteride reduces the amount of testosterone that is converted into DHT through 5α-reductase. This is believed to be due to the fact that testosterone is converted from dihydrotestosterone by the enzyme 5α-reductase, which is also found in the prostate.
