Fincar 5 Mg

What is Fincar 5 mg

Fincar 5 mg is an oral medicine that contains Finasteride, a potent 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. It is commonly prescribed for reducing hair loss and promoting hair growth. It is also used in the treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). 

Manufactured by Cipla Ltd., this tablet is a reliable option for both prostate health and hair loss management, with consistent usage resulting in noticeable benefits.

What are the Benefits of Fincar Tablet

Finasteride in Fincar functions by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for both prostate enlargement and hair loss. 

It promotes hair growth in men suffering from male pattern baldness, reducing further hair loss over time.

By reducing DHT levels, Fincar helps shrink the prostate gland in men with BPH, improving symptoms like frequent urination and difficulty in starting or maintaining a urine stream.

The treatment can show improvement in prostate health and hair growth when taken consistently as prescribed.
