- Generic Finpecia (Finasteride) is a substance which selectively prevents effects of 5 alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for activity of certain androgens (male hormones). Hair follicles and sebaceous glands are especially sensitive to androgens: their growth is stimulated at the cellular level and sebaceous glands produce fat. Hair growth in great measure depends on androgens. The strongest of the androgens is testosterone, it should be converted in dihydrotestosterone by 5 a-reductase in cells to be able to influence hair growth. Men with low levels of T 5 a-reductase and consequently dihydrotestosterone are not liable to enlargement of prostate and male hair loss. Finpecia is used in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (male-pattern baldness), prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia.
- This medication should be used only by recommendations of hair loss specialists or urologist. Take 1 tablet a day before or after a meal to treat male-pattern baldness. Regular intake at the same time each day is preferable.
- This medication cannot be used to treat other forms of hair loss such as focal hair loss (alopecia), stress hair loss, hair loss caused by lack of vitamins and nutrients, etc. Finpecia should be taken daily for 3 and months and longer to produce any noticeable effect like slowing and stoppage of hair loss. After 6 months of treatment newly grown hair can be seen which replace lost hair. If Finpecia shows no effect during twelve months its further use is unreasonable. Do not stop taking this medication without approval of your doctor as you may lose all newly grown hair during 12 months. Pregnant women or women who are going to become a mother, should not touch broken or pounded Finpecia pills as this substance is able to penetrate through skin and lead to abnormal changes in the reproductive system of the child (feminization of the fetus). Finpecia tablets are covered with a special layer to prevent a contact with its active ingredient.
