Finrest 5 mg Tablet

Finrest 5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 5 mg of finasteride in each tablet. It belongs to a class of drugs called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Finrest 5 mg Tablet is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also called an enlarged prostate, and may help improve urine flow and related symptoms.

How it works: Finasteride works by blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which lowers the amount of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. In the tablet form, the medicine is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to help shrink an enlarged prostate over time.

Finrest 5 mg Tablet is a higher-strength finasteride tablet, and it is typically used for prostate-related treatment rather than hair loss. Because it contains 5 mg in one tablet, it is not the same as lower-dose finasteride products that are used for other indications, and a doctor chooses this strength based on the condition being treated and the dose needed.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Enlarged prostate symptoms

Each Finrest 5 mg Tablet provides 5 mg of finasteride per tablet. This strength is commonly taken once daily, and the maximum daily dose should only be the amount your doctor prescribes.
