BENEFITS:
- Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Reduces the size of the prostate gland, relieving symptoms such as difficulty urinating.
- Management of Male Pattern Baldness: Slows down hair loss and promotes hair regrowth in men with androgenetic alopecia.
HOW IT WORKS:
Finasteride: Inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels, it helps shrink the prostate gland in BPH and prevents further hair loss in male pattern baldness.
