Patient summary
Finpecia is finasteride 1mg film-coated tablets for androgenetic alopecia, the hair-loss strength. It blocks conversion of testosterone to DHT.
Mechanism of action
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which minimizes hair follicle miniaturization.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Absolute contraindication: must not be handled by women who are or may become pregnant. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Finpecia is a film-coated tablet containing finasteride 1mg, manufactured by Cipla Ltd and also known as Propecia. It is used to treat androgenetic alopecia, or male pattern hair loss, in men. Finasteride is a Type II 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor: it blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), reducing miniaturisation of hair follicles. Improvement usually takes three to six months of ongoing treatment.
Finasteride is not indicated for use in women. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets because of the possible risk to a male fetus; coated tablets prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling. It is not for anyone under 18.
