What is Finasteride 5mg?
Finasteride 5mg tablets are use/d for hair loss in men (androgenetic alopecia), to help improve hair growth and hair count over time. Finasteride is also used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate to improve urinary symptoms by reducing prostate size, and may delay the need for surgery. Finasteride is only available as a prescription medicine.
In male-pattern hair loss, a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) causes hair to become shorter and finer and eventually stop growing in the affected area. DHT also causes the prostate to grow larger.However, Finasteride 5mg works by reducing the amount of DHT available by blocking an enzyme called 5α-reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. Lower levels of DHT help improve hair growth in male pattern hair loss and reduce symptoms of BPH. Finasteride is from a class of medicines called 5α-reductase inhibitors.
