Finast (Finasteride 5Mg)

What is Generic Propecia 5mg - Finast

Finast is a brand of finasteride, the best treatment for hair loss. Finast is a pharmaceutical drug that helps slow down the hair loss process and that can stop it. In many cases, the use of Finast also causes the hair to grow back to a certain extent. In some other formulations, the active ingredient in Finast can also be used to treat enlarged prostate.

Classification and Mechanism of Action

Finast works by preventing the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone which has detrimental effects on the hair follicles. This conversion is stopped by the blocking of 5-alpha reductase which is why Finast falls into the category of type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. With the inhibition of this enzyme, the hair follicles are healthy once again and the new hair can grow back.
