Finast

Finast (Finasteride)

Product description

Finast is a modern-day therapeutic agent that is created to treat male hair loss and various types of urinary problems in men. Despite the fact that these two symptoms do not seem closely correlated, both of them are caused by the same chain of biochemical reactions. The medication prevents the transformation of the hormone testosterone and reduces the level of its direct derivatives in the male body. As a result, the drug normalizes the size of the prostate gland and protects hair follicles from the hazardous effect of the hormones produced from testosterone.

How to take

The duration of the treatment regimen before the appearance of noticeable positive outcomes may vary in different groups; however, it usually takes not less than three months to detect them.

Partially this happens because its mode of action has a cumulative effect. The suppression of the production of the hormone cannot be rapid enough to provide visible changes in a few days.

The second reason is that the negative symptoms the medicine is used to treat are manifested as apparent physiological changes. Reorganizing the work of hair follicles or normalizing the functions of the prostate gland cannot take less than several months.

Strict adherence to the treatment schedule is extremely important. Any changes to this regimen must be introduced under the physician’s control and by easy stages to ensure the safety of the results of the several-months therapy.

The medication may be used with or without meals, usually not more than once per day.

Safety information

• Do NOT double the dose the next day or take the medication at such time so that the interval between two drug administrations will be less than suggested by the schedule.
