What is Fincar used for?

Fincar 5mg tablets are used to treat symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia) to shrink the prostate as it enlarges and reduce the risk of urine retention due to restricted urine flow. Improving BPH symptoms with Fincar 5mg tablets also reduces the need for surgery. As a side effect of the intended use, Fincar 5mg tablets are also used to treat male pattern hair loss (hereditary alopecia) by increasing hair growth and preventing further hair loss in all areas of the scalp, including the frontal area.

How does Fincar work? 

Fincar 5 mg tablets contain 5 mg of finasteride, which specifically inhibits the action of the enzyme type II 5α-reductase, which converts the male hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), an androgen primarily responsible for the development and growth of the prostate. DHT also causes benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or benign prostatic hyperplasia) and Fincar 5mg tablets reduce DHT levels in the blood so that prostate growth is no longer stimulated in men with BPH, causing the enlarged prostate to shrink. DHT, which is also found in hair follicles, is an androgen that causes hair loss. This is because the hair follicles on the scalp gradually become smaller and less able to produce hair, which eventually stops coming out of the follicle.
