Uses / Indications:
Finpecia 1mg Tablet is a hormonal drug that is used to treat:
Androgenetic Alopecia, often known as Male Pattern Baldness, is a prevalent kind of hair loss in men.
It helps hair grow faster and stops more hair from falling out of the scalp.
This drug is only for men and is not safe for women or children.
Pregnancy interaction:
⚠️ Not safe for women, especially while they are pregnant.
If a pregnant woman touches or crushes a Finpecia (Finasteride) tablet, it can cause birth abnormalities in a male fetus.
Pregnant women or women who are hoping to get pregnant should not touch broken or crushed medications.
Women and children are not allowed to take finasteride.
Not appropriate to breastfeeding because it is not meant for ladies.
Expert advice:
Finpecia is intended for guys. Don't give it to women or kids.
Pregnant women should not touch tablets that are broken or crushed.
It may take 3 to 6 months of constant treatment for hair to grow back; discontinuing the medicine stops the effect.
To keep getting benefits, you need to utilize it regularly.
Tell your doctor if you have ever had liver illness or prostate cancer.
Let your doctor know before you have blood testing because finasteride may change the results of the PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test.
Don't use it to treat yourself or mix it with topical hair growth therapies without first talking to a doctor.
Keep it in a cool, dry place that is out of the sun and away from dampness.

How to use:
Follow your doctor's instructions exactly when you take Finpecia 1mg Tablet.
Do not crush or break the tablet; just swallow it whole with a glass of water.
You can take it with or without food, and you should take it at the same time every day.
To notice effects, you need to use it every day for a few months.
Don't stop taking it all as once; hair loss may start up again in 6 to 12 months.
Important: Women should not handle Finpecia, especially if they are pregnant or might become pregnant.
How it works:
1 mg of Finpecia Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, is in the tablet.
It works by:
Stopping testosterone from turning into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that makes men lose hair.
Reducing the amount of DHT on the scalp can help hair follicles stay healthy and grow again.
After using the drug for 3 to 6 months, you may notice that your hair grows faster. However, the benefits only last as long as you keep taking the prescription.
