Finasteride is an oral medication that treats male pattern baldness. It is available in a 5mg tablet. The active ingredient is finasteride.
Finasteride works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme in the body called 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss. By lowering DHT levels, finasteride reduces the size of the hair follicles in the scalp, leading to thicker, more robust hair.

Read More What is DHT? Finasteride is the primary medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. BPH is a chronic medical condition where a small gland in the back of the prostate enlargles and can cause difficulty in the flow of urine, or obstruction in the urinary tract, especially in men over 40. BPH is characterized by the natural changes that occur within the urinary system, including hesitancy, hesens, and hespericism. BPH can affect the flow of urine, making it hard to void contents of the bladder or the prostate. Finasteride works by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes BPH. Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme, reducing DHT levels in the body. This results in less of the BPH causing symptoms such as difficulty in urinary flow, hespericism, hespericism, and abnormal urination. DHT helps maintain the health of the urine while reducing the amount of DHT absorbed by the body. Finasteride is used to treat 5-alpha reductase inhibitor-dependent prostate cancer in men. Proscar tablets can also be used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia), a condition that commonly affects men of all ages, including those over the age of 40. DHT also helps reduce the volume of urine produced, which can be affected by men using finasteride. As a result, symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) may decrease, and symptoms such as urgency, frequent urination, and urinary frequency can decrease.Finasteride also helps reduce the amount of DHT that is produced by the body, which in turn helps maintain the hair on the scalp and prostate. It also reduces the number of DHT cells that attach to hair follicles in the scalp, which decreases the frequency of hair loss and increases the number of new DHT-bearing hair follicles. In studies, men taking finasteride reported a decrease in DHT levels compared to men taking placebo. However, more research is needed to fully understand the effects of finasteride on BPH symptoms.
Finasteride also helps reduce the amount of DHT that is absorbed from the body, which in turn can reduce the likelihood of prostate surgery. It also helps maintain the prostate's natural ability to produce and release nitric oxide, a hormone that causes reduced blood flow to the prostate and bladder. As a result, symptoms of BPH may decrease, and symptoms such as urinary frequency and symptoms of urinary incontinence may decrease.
Finasteride is only for men and can cause birth defects in pregnant women. If you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan on becoming pregnant and touch crushed or broken Proscar tablets, you should wash your hands and call your healthcare provider right away.
