PROSCAR 5MG 28 TABLETS ( PROPECIA, FINASTERIDE)

Finasteride is the generic form of brand Proscar. Both medications work similarly in the body.

Finasteride is type of medication known as a5-alpha reductase inhibitor, which blocks the conversion of testosteron to DHT. DHT is male sex hormone that causes male pattern hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia in people who are genetically susceptible.

Additionally, in 1997 the FDA approved finasteride to treat hair loss in male pattern baldness, and is registered in many countries under the trade name Propecia®. Following numerous clinical trials, it was discovered that DHT leads to the miniaturization and loss of genetically sensitive hair on the top of the head, which is seen in the typical (androgenetic) pattern of hair loss.

Propecia, Proscar, Finasteride are same.
