Product category: Hair Care
Active ingredient: Finasteride 1 mg
Dosage form: Oral tablet
Prescription: Required
Finax contains finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor. This 1 mg formulation is used for androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) in eligible men. A clinician should confirm suitability and dosing.
Finasteride blocks conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone linked to androgenetic hair thinning and prostate enlargement. Treatment effects depend on the diagnosis and patient characteristics.
For male pattern hair loss, improvements usually require consistent prescribed use for several months. It does not address every cause of shedding; abrupt, patchy or inflammatory hair loss warrants medical investigation.
Reported effects include reduced libido, erectile or ejaculation changes, breast symptoms and mood changes. Finasteride alters prostate-specific antigen (PSA) results and requires interpretation during prostate screening. A possible association with high-grade prostate cancer appears in labeling of the 5 mg formulation. Pregnant people must not handle crushed or broken tablets due to fetal risk. Discuss fertility concerns, liver disease and all other medicines with the prescriber.
Finalo 1 mg, Finax 1 mg, Proscar 5 mg and Avodart 0.5 mg are separate entries; do not switch based solely on strength.
