Finacet 1 mg Tablet

Finacet 1 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 1 mg of finasteride in each tablet. It belongs to the 5-alpha reductase inhibitor class and is used to treat male pattern hair loss on the scalp. Finacet 1 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is made for adults who have been evaluated by a healthcare professional for hair loss treatment.

How it works: Finasteride in Finacet 1 mg Tablet blocks an enzyme that changes testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lowering DHT helps slow the shrinkage of hair follicles and may help preserve and regrow scalp hair in men with pattern hair loss.

The Finacet 1 mg Tablet is the lower-strength hair loss form of finasteride, while the sibling Finacet 5 mg Tablet is a higher-strength version used for different prostate-related conditions. This 1 mg tablet is specifically suited for treating androgenetic alopecia, and a doctor may choose it because it matches the approved hair-loss dose rather than the higher 5 mg strength. Results are not immediate, so it is usually chosen for steady daily use over time rather than for quick improvement.

• Swallow Finacet 1 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew it.
• Take it once daily at about the same time each day unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
