What is Fincar 5mg
- It is a pharmaceutical medication that is used by men with male pattern baldness who wish to slow down and stop the process of losing hair and perhaps even grow new hair. Fincar is also used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH or enlarged prostate)
It is a new brand for the drug called finasteride, which is most popular in the west under the name Propecia. It is a much cheaper alternative that is just as good as Propecia.
Classification and Mechanism of Action
Fincar is a type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor drug which means that it provides the benefits by inhibiting the 5-alpha reductase from doing its work. This enzyme is necessary for the testosterone to be converted into dihydrotestosterone which can have detrimental effects in some men and cause their hair to fall out. With the said enzyme being inhibited, this conversion does not take place and the hair follicles are enabled to function properly and without problems.
Looking after your medicine
You are advised to keep your Fincar tablets in a cool, dark and dry place out of reach of any children.
How to take Generic Propecia 5mg - Fincar
Fincar is taken once a day, one tablet of 5 mg each time. If your physician has recommended a different regimen, do as they have told you. You should take your Fincar with a full glass of water and you should make sure that you make any and all appointments that the doctor has set up in order to monitor your progress.
Dosage
Fincar comes in 5 mg tablets and one of these is taken every day.
Overdose
An overdose on Fincar is not lethal although it can have very serious unwanted effects. If you believe you or anyone in your vicinity has taken too much Fincar, make sure to contact emergency medical services straight away.
Missed Dose
In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is near, take that one and do not take the missed one.
Warnings and Precautions
Fincar may cause changes to the sex drive and ejaculations. It can also cause tenderness in the breasts. The risk of prostatic cancer is increased when taking Fincar and you need to come in for regular checkups.

Treating hair loss
Hair loss is a process that is far more pronounced in some men and Fincar is the best solution for men who want to slow down and stop this process. Unlike so many other products on the market, Fincar is a pharmaceutical drug and it has been tested and clinically tried for years before it was even introduced to the market. Its efficacy and safety are well documented and factual.
When should it not be used
Fincar should not be used by men who are allergic to finasteride or dutasteride. Fincar should not be used by women.
How long should you take it
Fincar will produce noticeable effects in 3 months in most men. For some men this may take longer. The longer you take Fincar, the more pronounced the effects will be.
