Product Description:
- Finasteride 1 mg film-coated tablets are prescribed for the treatment of male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia.
- This medication works by inhibiting the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to hair loss.
- By reducing DHT levels, finasteride helps to slow hair loss and promote hair regrowth in men.
How to Use:
- Take one 1 mg finasteride tablet once daily, with or without food. Consistency is important; do not take more than one tablet per day.
- It may take several months to notice visible improvements in hair growth.
- Continue using the medication as directed by your healthcare provider to maintain results.
Warnings and Precautions:
- Pregnant Women: Finasteride is contraindicated for use in women, especially those who are pregnant or may become pregnant, due to potential risks to a male fetus.
- Women should avoid handling crushed or broken tablets.
- Allergic Reactions: Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
- Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels: Finasteride can affect PSA levels, which are used to screen for prostate cancer. Inform your healthcare provider that you are taking finasteride before undergoing PSA tests.
- Sexual Side Effects: Some men may experience decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, or a decrease in the amount of semen. If these side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your healthcare provider.
