Function and Efficacy

This product belongs to the 4-nitrogen steroid hormone compound, which is a specific type II 5α-reductase competitive inhibitor. It inhibits the conversion of peripheral testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and reduces the level of dihydrotestosterone in the blood, prostate, skin and other tissues. The growth, development and benign hyperplasia of the prostate depend on dihydrotestosterone. Finasteride inhibits prostate hyperplasia and improves the related clinical symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia by reducing the level of dihydrotestosterone in the blood and prostate tissue.
