Finasteride is utilized to manage benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) either alone or alongside another medication (doxazosin [Cardura]). It alleviates BPH symptoms such as frequent and difficult urination and may reduce the risk of acute urinary retention. Additionally, it may lower the likelihood of needing prostate surgery. Finasteride (Propecia) is also employed to treat male pattern hair loss, specifically gradual hair thinning on the scalp, including a receding hairline or balding on the top of the head in men. However, it does not address hair thinning at the temples and is not suitable for treating hair loss in women or children. Finasteride belongs to the class of drugs known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. It manages BPH by inhibiting the body’s production of a male hormone responsible for prostate enlargement. In the case of male pattern hair loss, it hinders the body’s production of a scalp-specific male hormone that impedes hair growth.
