Finapod
Finapod contains finasteride, a medication used primarily to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate, and male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It works by reducing levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate growth and hair loss in men. Finapod can help improve urinary flow in men with BPH and slow or reverse hair loss in men with male pattern baldness.

It may take 3 to 6 months of regular use to see noticeable improvements in hair regrowth. Continued use is required to maintain the benefits.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Finapod Work?
Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that promotes prostate growth and hair follicle miniaturization. By reducing DHT levels, Finapod can shrink the prostate and improve urinary symptoms in BPH, and prevent further hair loss or even stimulate hair regrowth in men with male pattern baldness.
Common Dosages
The typical dosages for Finapod are:
- 1 mg once daily for hair loss.
- 5 mg once daily for BPH.
Typical Dosing
- For BPH: The recommended dose is 5 mg once daily, with or without food. It may take several months to see improvement in symptoms.
- For male pattern baldness: The dose is 1 mg once daily. Hair regrowth may take up to 3 months, and continued use is necessary to maintain the benefits.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH): To improve symptoms and reduce the need for surgery.
- Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness): To promote hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
Who Shouldn't Take Finapod?
- Women who are or may become pregnant (due to the risk of birth defects in male fetuses).
- Children or adolescents.
- Individuals with hypersensitivity to finasteride or any of its ingredients.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Finapod as directed, once daily with or without food.
- Women of childbearing age should avoid handling crushed or broken tablets, as exposure to finasteride can cause birth defects in male fetuses.
- Do not stop taking Finapod abruptly, as discontinuing the medication may reverse its benefits for both BPH and hair loss within a few months.
- For men using Finapod for hair loss, consistent use is necessary to maintain hair growth.
