FINPECIA 5 MG

Description

Finpecia is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss on the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp area.

Active Ingredient: Finasteride

Finpecia 5 mg is a medication containing the active ingredient finasteride. Finpecia is primarily used to treat male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. It is a condition characterized by hair thinning and loss, typically at the top of the scalp and the front of the head.

Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is believed to be a major contributor to the shrinking of hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, finasteride helps to reverse the miniaturization of hair follicles, leading to increased hair growth and preventing further hair loss.

The 5 mg dosage of finasteride is typically prescribed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland in men. However, it can also be used off-label for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia.

It’s important to note that finasteride should only be used by men and is not approved for use in women or children. Additionally, finasteride may take several months to produce noticeable results, and hair loss may resume if the medication is discontinued.

Common side effects of finasteride may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, and breast tenderness or enlargement. These side effects are usually mild and resolve with continued use of the medication. However, some men may experience persistent side effects even after discontinuing finasteride, a condition known as post-finasteride syndrome.

If you experience any concerning symptoms or adverse reactions while taking finpecia 5 mg, it’s essential to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance. Additionally, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
