Finasid 5Mg 30 Tablets

Finasid is a medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. It works by reducing the size of the prostate and improving urine flow.

Finasid works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which decreases the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. By reducing DHT levels, it helps to decrease the size of the prostate, leading to improved urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating and increased urine flow. It may also help reduce the risk of needing prostate surgery in the future.
