How Finpecia Tablet Works
Finpecia Tablet works by inhibiting the enzyme 5‑alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the scalp. Lowering DHT levels reduces its effect on hair follicles, helping to slow further hair loss and promote regrowth in men with hereditary baldness.
Benefits
- Helps slow or halt progression of male pattern baldness.
- Supports thicker, denser regrowth in gradually thinning areas such as the crown and top of the head.
- Convenient once‑daily oral treatment for long‑term management of hair loss in men.
Directions for Use
Take Finpecia Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with water without chewing, crushing, or breaking it, and continue treatment for the full duration advised, as benefits may take several months to become fully noticeable.
Possible Side Effects
Finpecia Tablet is generally well tolerated, but some men may experience mild sexual or allergic side effects. Contact your doctor if any symptom persists, worsens, or causes concern.
- Decreased libido (reduced sexual drive)
- Erectile dysfunction
- Ejaculation disorder
- Occasional rash, itching, or swelling of the lips or face
Safety Advice
- Use in women and children: Finpecia Tablet is intended only for adult men and is not indicated in women or children.
- Pregnancy: Highly unsafe in pregnancy; women who are or may become pregnant must not use Finpecia and should avoid touching crushed or broken tablets.
- Kidney & liver: Usually no dose change is required in kidney disease; use with caution and medical supervision in liver impairment.
- Alcohol & driving: No specific interaction with alcohol is known, and Finpecia generally does not affect the ability to drive, but follow your doctor’s advice.
Quick Tips
- Take Finpecia Tablet daily as advised; it may take 3 months or longer to see full benefits, and stopping treatment can lead to loss of regrown hair over time.
- Do not donate blood for at least 6 months after your last dose, to avoid exposing a pregnant recipient to finasteride.
- Inform your doctor about all existing medical conditions and current medicines before starting Finpecia, and promptly report any persistent sexual side effects, breast changes, or mood changes.
