Finalo 1 mg Tablet

Finalo 1 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains finasteride 1 mg in each tablet. It belongs to a class of medicines called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Finalo 1 mg Tablet is used to treat male pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia, in men. This pack contains 10 tablets made by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

How it works: Finasteride in Finalo 1 mg Tablet works by blocking the enzyme that changes testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that can shrink hair follicles. By lowering DHT, this tablet can help slow further hair loss and may help preserve existing hair.

Finalo 1 mg Tablet is the lower, hair-loss strength of finasteride and is not the same as higher-dose finasteride products used for other conditions. It is typically chosen for men who have been assessed by a doctor for male pattern hair loss and need the 1 mg daily tablet strength rather than a higher dose. This strength is meant for regular use over time, not for quick hair regrowth.

• Male pattern hair loss in men
• Androgenetic alopecia
• Slowing progression of scalp hair thinning
• Helping maintain existing hair density

• Swallow the Finalo 1 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it once daily exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• You may take it with or without food.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to help you remember.
• Do not crush, chew, or split the tablet unless your doctor tells you to.
• Use it regularly; hair-loss benefit usually takes time to notice.

Each Finalo 1 mg Tablet contains 1 mg of finasteride. For male pattern hair loss, it is commonly taken once a day, and the usual maximum is 1 tablet per day unless your doctor gives different instructions. Your doctor decides whether this 1 mg strength is right for you and how long you should continue it.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
