Drug Uses
Finpecia stops the hair fall issue in men.
Usage
Strictly listen and obey your medical specialist's advice. Read the medicine label if you want to learn about the medicine and instructions in detail. You may take the medicine along with a meal or without one but it is always good to have it after food. Normally the dosage is one tablet per day. For excellent results, Finpecia should be taken up to 3 months without failure. If you stop in between all the results will be wasted. Consume a full glass of water with Finpecia. Try to take the medicine every day at the same time to avoid dosage missing.
Drug Class and Mechanism
Finpecia functions by decreasing the testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) conversion in the patient's body. DHT is largely culpable for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and finally hair loss. Finpecia is essentially used in the treatment of symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in cases who have an enlarged prostate.
Missed Dose
Try not to miss any dose, in case if you missed a dose have it as soon as you remember and allot a time gap of 4 to 5 hours with the next dose. If the above-mentioned case is not possible, skip that particular dose and resume with the following dose. A double dose is not a solution for a missed dose, never take two tablets at a time.
Storage
Store Finpecia at room temperature (read medicine label if unsure). Always keep it in a cool, dark, and dry clean place. Preserve it away from kids and pets.
Overdose
An overdose of Finpecia may have adverse effects that require immediate medical attention. Contact the nearest emergency poison control center immediately if you notice any adverse effects.
Warning/Precautions
Doctors do not advise taking Finpecia if you are allergic to any element in it or if you have any intolerant to a similar medicine named dutasteride (Avodart).
Finpecia is not a woman or child medicine. Finpecia may be absorbed through the skin so be careful while storing the medicine. Finpecia may even cause infertility. In case a woman comes into contact with a powdered or broken Finpecia tablet the area should be cleaned completely.
Discuss your old and new therapy history in detail with your doctor before beginning treatment with any new medication. If you are using any herbal medicines or over the counter medication, including vitamin supplements, then mention it to your doctor.
