Fincar 5 mg contains finasteride, a 5‑alpha reductase inhibitor used primarily to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), an enlargement of the prostate gland that can cause urinary symptoms such as difficulty urinating, frequent urination or weak stream. Finasteride reduces the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate growth. By lowering DHT levels, Fincar helps shrink the enlarged prostate, improve urine flow and decrease the risk of acute urinary retention or the need for surgical intervention.
The recommended dose is one 5‑mg tablet taken once daily, with or without food. It may take six months or longer to experience maximum symptom relief, and continuous use is necessary to maintain benefits. Some patients may take finasteride in combination with an alpha blocker like tamsulosin for more rapid symptom improvement. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not split or crush. Take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
Side effects can include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, breast tenderness or enlargement and skin rash. Although uncommon, there are reports of depression and mood changes. Finasteride lowers prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels by about 50%, potentially masking early signs of prostate cancer; ensure your doctor knows you are taking Fincar before undergoing PSA testing. In rare cases, men may develop a breast lump, nipple discharge or pain; these symptoms require prompt medical evaluation.
Fincar is intended for adult men only. Women and children should not take it. Pregnant or potentially pregnant women must avoid handling crushed or broken tablets because finasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may cause abnormalities in a male fetus. Do not donate blood while taking finasteride and for at least one month after stopping therapy to prevent accidental exposure to pregnant recipients. Discuss your medical history and current medications with your doctor, especially if you have liver disease, urinary problems or prostate cancer.
