• Controlling hair loss in the anterior midscalp area
• Promoting hair regrowth in regions affected by androgenetic alopecia

Side Effects
Finoxil 1 Tablet may induce the following side effects:
• Decreased libido
• Erectile dysfunction
• Ejaculation disorder, predominantly decreased volume of ejaculate
• Gynaecomastia
How it Works?
Finoxil 1 Tablet contains finasteride (1 mg), which operates as follows:
• Inhibits 5α Reductase: Finasteride specifically inhibits type II 5α reductase, an enzyme predominantly found in hair follicles. This enzyme converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
• Lowers DHT Levels: By inhibiting the activity of 5α reductase, finasteride effectively reduces DHT levels in the scalp. DHT is a primary factor in male pattern hair loss among genetically predisposed individuals, so reducing its levels can attenuate hair loss and promote regrowth.
