Uses

Dihydrotestosterone is the main reason behind the enlargement of the Prostate in men. Reduced amounts of dihydrotestosterone avoids enlargement of the prostate which directly works in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Finpecia also helps in the treatment of Male pattern baldness also known as androgenetic alopecia by blocking the body's production of the male hormone Dihydrotestosterone which directly helps in the increase of hair growth and reduces hair loss.
