Product Overview
Finrest is a medication containing the active ingredient Finasteride. It is an oral medication primarily used for the treatment of male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Finrest works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for shrinking hair follicles and leading to hair loss. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finrest helps to reverse the balding process and promote hair regrowth in men with male pattern baldness.
Uses
Finrest is indicated for the treatment of male pattern hair loss, characterized by a receding hairline and thinning of hair on the crown and temples. It is not intended for use in women or children. Male pattern baldness occurs due to genetic and hormonal factors, with DHT playing a key role in the miniaturization of hair follicles. By blocking the production of DHT, Finrest helps to halt hair loss and stimulate the growth of new hair in affected areas of the scalp.
How to Use
Take Finrest orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily with a full glass of water. Consistent use of it is essential to achieve and maintain hair regrowth results. It may take several months of continuous treatment before noticeable improvements in hair growth are observed. If you stop taking it, any hair gained during treatment will be lost within 12 months. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully and do not exceed the prescribed dosage.
How it Works
Finrest works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. DHT is a potent androgen hormone that contributes to the miniaturization of hair follicles in individuals genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finrest helps to reverse the shrinking of hair follicles, prolonging the hair growth phase (anagen) and promoting thicker, healthier hair growth over time.
Dosage and Administration
The recommended dosage of Finrest for the treatment of male pattern hair loss is 1 mg once daily. It is important to take it consistently at the same time each day to maximize its effectiveness. Results may vary among individuals, and it may take at least three to six months of continuous treatment to see visible improvements in hair growth. If you miss a dose of it, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
