Finasteride is used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It also may be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Male pattern hair loss in men may be caused by an enzyme called 5alphareductase. This enzyme converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing hair.
Male pattern hair loss may be caused by a combination of the following conditions:
Finasteride is an oral treatment that may be taken daily, or as needed, for up to 6 months, depending on your individual circumstances.
Proscar is used to treat male pattern hair loss in men. It may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Proscar tablets may be taken by mouth, either with or without food. The usual dosage is one tablet a day. The tablets may be crushed and mixed with water to make a homogeneous solution. This mixture should be taken with or without food. To help avoid irritation to the esophagus, the tablets should be swallowed whole with food. The tablets should not be broken, crushed or chewed.
Proscar is intended for use by men only. It is not for use by women or children.
The dosage of Proscar tablets depends on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Healthylife Product OnlineHealthylife PharmacyThis product is a Prescription Only Medicine (S4)ackle. Finasteride is a prescription medication intended for use in adult men with the ability to reduce hair loss by blocking DHT. Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. Finasteride works by blocking the body's production of DHT, a hormone that causes hair loss. By reducing DHT, Finasteride helps to slow down or prevent hair loss, with slowing down hair loss typically experiencing for several months or longer. This is because Finasteride prevents DHT from being absorbed by the hair follicles, which in turn delays the balding process and therefore delays the hair loss process. Finasteride also helps to reduce the risk of developing alopecia areata, a skin condition characterised by thinning of the skin. Although Finasteride is not approved for use in children, its use is also recommended for use in adult men with hair loss. Finasteride can cause side effects like decreased libido, difficulty in maintaining semen volume, and erectile dysfunction. Finasteride can also cause decreased the volume of ejaculate. Some medical conditions may interact with Finasteride. If you are experiencing erectile dysfunction or sexual dysfunction while taking Finasteride, please contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
