Finapodtar
Finapodtar is a medication containing finasteride, which is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate, and male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It works by reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate growth and hair loss in men. Finapodtar helps improve urinary flow in men with BPH and can slow down hair loss or even promote regrowth in those with male pattern baldness.

Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Finapodtar Work?
Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that contributes to prostate growth in men with BPH and plays a key role in hair follicle shrinkage in male pattern baldness. By lowering DHT levels, finasteride can reduce prostate size and improve urinary flow in men with BPH, and slow or reverse hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia.
Common Dosages
- For BPH: The usual dose is 5 mg once daily.
- For male pattern baldness: The typical dose is 1 mg once daily.
Typical Dosing
- For BPH: Take 5 mg once daily, with or without food. It may take several months of continuous use to notice improvement in symptoms.
- For male pattern baldness: Take 1 mg once daily. Hair regrowth may take several months, and continued use is required to maintain benefits.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate, to improve symptoms and reduce the need for surgery.
- Androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss) in men, to increase hair growth and prevent further hair loss.
Who Shouldn't Take Finapodtar?
- Women who are or may become pregnant, as it can cause birth defects in male fetuses.
- Children or adolescents.
- Patients with known hypersensitivity to finasteride or any ingredients in the medication.
Advice From The Pharmacist
- Take Finapodtar exactly as prescribed, usually once daily, with or without food.
- It may take several months before you notice an improvement in symptoms or hair growth.
- Women of childbearing age should not handle crushed or broken tablets, as exposure to finasteride can harm a developing male fetus.
- If you stop taking Finapodtar, the benefits for hair growth or BPH symptoms may reverse within 6 to 12 months.
