What is Fincar 5 mg?

Fincar 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland in men. It contains Finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps shrink the enlarged Prostate, improve urine flow, and relieve urinary discomfort. At higher doses, it treats prostate-related problems, while at lower doses (1 mg), Finasteride is also used for male pattern baldness.

Fincar 5 mg is the generic version of Proscar (Finasteride 5 mg), manufactured by Cipla Ltd., India, ensuring the same quality and effectiveness at a more affordable price.

What are the Medical Uses of Fincar 5 mg?

Fincar 5 mg tablet helps to improve the symptoms of medical conditions like:

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a condition in which the Prostate grows larger with age. It can cause difficulty in urinating and may not be cancerous.

How does Fincar 5 mg (Finasteride) Work?

Finasteride works by blocking the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, preventing testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It reduces prostate growth, relieving urinary symptoms by shrinking the Prostate and relaxing surrounding muscles. For hair loss, Finasteride works by stimulating hair growth by lowering DHT levels, which helps prevent hair loss and promotes regrowth in men.
