Finasteride 1mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Finasteride 1mg is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor used for male pattern hair loss for finasteride therapy treatment. It lowers conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone involved in shrinking scalp hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. Regular use can slow hair loss and may improve hair density over several months, but benefits usually require continued treatment. Stopping therapy often leads to gradual loss of gained or preserved hair. This 1mg strength is for male pattern hair loss and is not indicated for women or children. Pregnant women or people who may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets because finasteride can harm development of a male fetus. Side effects can include reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation changes, breast tenderness or enlargement, mood symptoms, and rarely allergic reactions. Finasteride can lower PSA levels, so prostate screening interpretation needs the prescriber to know about use.

How to use

Take Finasteride 1mg once daily as prescribed, with or without food. Swallow whole. Use consistently for several months before judging response, and do not share with women, children, or anyone who may be pregnant.

How it works

Finasteride blocks type II 5-alpha-reductase, reducing DHT levels. Lower DHT can slow follicle miniaturization in male pattern hair loss.

Common side effects

Possible effects include reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorder, breast tenderness, breast enlargement, rash, and mood changes. Serious warning signs include breast lump, nipple discharge, severe depression, allergic swelling, or testicular pain.

Important information

Not indicated for women or children. Pregnant people should avoid crushed or broken tablets. Tell clinicians about finasteride use before PSA testing, prostate evaluation, fertility review, or mood-symptom assessment.
