Finasteride Tablets

Function and Efficacy

This drug belongs to the 4-nitrogen steroid hormone compound and is a specific type II 5alpha;-reductase competitive inhibitor. It inhibits the conversion of peripheral testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and reduces the levels 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 by reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone in the blood and prostate tissues, and improves the related clinical symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
