Full Product Description

Finpecia 1 mg contains finasteride 1 mg. Finasteride inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, reducing conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone involved in androgenetic hair loss.

How Finasteride Relates to Hair Loss

By lowering DHT activity, finasteride can help reduce progressive follicle miniaturisation in appropriate patients with androgenetic hair loss. Results vary, and benefit generally depends on continued treatment.
