FINAX TAB

About

FINAX TAB contains Finasteride, a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound that acts as a specific inhibitor of type II 5-alpha reductase. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen implicated in the pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By inhibiting DHT production, Finasteride effectively reduces DHT levels in the scalp and prostate, leading to a decrease in hair loss and promotion of hair regrowth in men, and a reduction in prostate size and improvement in urinary symptoms in BPH. Its action is highly specific, targeting the hormonal pathway responsible for these conditions.
