Product details of Finast

Finast is a generic version of Proscar. The active ingredient Finast suppresses the action of dihydrotestosterone, the male hormone that causes AGA.

By reducing dihydrotestosterone, it regulates the hair growth cycle, prolongs the growth period of hair growth, and leads thin and short hair to thick and long hair growth.

Since it contains 5 mg of the active ingredient finasteride, it is possible to treat with good cost performance by dividing it with a pill cutter or the like.

Effect of Finast

Finasteride, the active ingredient in finasteride, reduces the production of androgen (DHT), which is the direct cause of AGA.

This action improves the disorder of the hair cycle, delays the progression of AGA, and can be expected to have a hair-growth effect.

Estimated manifestation of the effect of Finast

The effect may appear in 3 months at the earliest, but it is usually said that the effect will appear in 6 months.

We recommend that you treat it carefully without rushing.

Indications for Finast

Finast is effective for the symptoms of AGA (male pattern baldness).

• Those who suffer from AGA
• Those who feel that hair loss has increased
• Those who feel that their hair has become thinner
• Those who want to strengthen their hair and increase the amount of hair
• Those who want to use a safe hair growth agent
• Those who have not been effective with AGA treatments such as Propecia and those who suffer from benign prostatic hyperplasia

The Active ingredient of FINAST

Finasteride, the active ingredient in finasteride, suppresses the action of 5α-reductase and reduces the amount of DHT, which is the direct cause of AGA.

This function improves the disorder of the hair cycle and supports the hair to grow firmly.

It usually requires daily administration for 6 months until the effect appears.

In addition, it is recommended to take it continuously to maintain the effect.

Precautions when taking FINAST

Dietary Effects

When finasteride 0.2 mg and 1 mg were orally administered to healthy adults once daily for 7 days within 30 minutes after meals, the AUC and Cmax on the 7th day of administration were approximately between fasting and postprandial administration. It will be the same value.

Clinical trials have reported no dietary effects.

Precautions related to dosage and administration Although the effect may be exhibited by daily administration for 3 months, it is usually said that daily administration for 6 months is required until the effect appears.

Also, take it continuously to maintain the effect. In addition, the enhancement of the effect by increasing the dose is not recognized.

If the progression of androgenetic alopecia is not delayed even after administration of this drug for 6 months or longer, discontinue administration. In addition, even if you administer for 6 months or more, check the effect regularly and consider the necessity of continuous administration.
