About FINASTERIDE(1MG)
Introduction
Finasteride 1mg is a medication primarily used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It belongs to a class of medicines called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. This medicine works by affecting hormone levels that influence hair growth on the scalp.
Uses
Finasteride 1mg is commonly prescribed for: - Treatment of male pattern baldness (hair loss) in men - Slowing down hair loss and promoting hair regrowth on the scalp - Preventing further hair thinning in men with androgenetic alopecia
Benefits
The key benefits of Finasteride 1mg include: - Helps stop further hair loss in men with male pattern baldness - Promotes regrowth of hair on the scalp in many users - Increases hair count and improves hair thickness over time - Results typically visible after 3-6 months of regular use - Convenient once-daily oral tablet form
Side effects

How to use
Take Finasteride 1mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water. It can be taken with or without food. Take it at the same time each day for best results. Do not break, crush, or chew the tablet. Continue taking regularly as directed, even if you don't see immediate results. Do not stop without consulting your doctor.
How it works
Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that causes hair follicles to shrink in men with genetic hair loss. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride helps prevent further hair loss and allows hair follicles to recover and regrow hair.
