Fincar 5mg
Fincar 5mg tablets contain finasteride 5 mg, which is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate) and male pattern baldness. Fincar 5mg tablets inhibit the formation of the male hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes enlarged prostate and hair loss.
How should I use this medicine?
Fincar 5mg tablets are used to treat symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate) to shrink the prostate and reduce the risk of urinary retention caused by restricted urine flow as the prostate becomes enlarged.
Improving symptoms of BPH with Fincar 5mg tablets also reduces and the need for surgery. As a side effect of its intended use, Fincar 5mg tablets are also used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) by increasing hair growth and preventing further hair loss from all areas of the scalp, including the front.
This can reverse balding in men with mild to moderate hair loss but does not restore hair that has been lost for a long time. Fincar 5mg tablets are not used to treat hair loss in women.
How Does Fincar 5mg Work?
Fincar 5mg tablets contain finasteride 5 mg that specifically inhibits the action of the enzyme type II 5α-reductase that converts the male hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the androgen primarily responsible for the development and growth of the prostate gland.
DHT also causes benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate) and Fincar 5mg tablets reduce the levels of DHT in the blood, so that prostate growth is no longer stimulated in men with BPH allowing the enlarged prostate to shrink.
DHT, which is also found in hair follicles, is the androgen responsible for hair loss, as it causes hair follicles in the scalp to gradually shrink producing smaller and thinner hairs, which eventually do not emerge from the follicle.
Fincar 5mg tablets reverse the balding process as it blocks the build-up of DHT in the hair follicles of the scalp, allowing the hair to grow normally.
How Do I take Fincar 5mg?
You should take Fincar 5mg tablets (divided into quarters for hair loss) with a glass of water once a day with or without food, for up to 6 months or longer, as recommended by your doctor.
Do not chew the capsule or open it, this makes your mouth or throat sore.
How long should you take Fincar?
You should continue to take Fincar 5mg tablets for as long as your doctor recommends. This may be for 3 months or longer.
It can take several months for new hair to grow and if you stop taking your Fincar 5mg tablets during this time, hair loss may resume.
It can take 6 months or more for Fincar 5mg tablets to improve symptoms of BPH, as the prostate shrinks slowly and if you stop taking your Fincar 5mg tablets during this time, your prostate makes starts to grow again.
