Finasteride blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into <strong>dihydrotestosterone (DHT)<\/strong> \u2014 the androgen responsible for follicle miniaturisation in androgenetic alopecia and for prostate growth in BPH.<\/p>\n<p>Available strengths in this brand: <strong>1 mg (hair loss) and 5 mg (BPH)<\/strong>. Geproduceerd door Sun Pharma.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Genitale herpes (eerste episode):<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Male-pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia):<\/strong> <strong>1 mg once daily<\/strong> \u2014 the hair-loss dose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Goedaardige prostaatvergroting (BPH):<\/strong> <strong>5 mg once daily<\/strong> \u2014 the prostate dose. Reduces prostate volume, improves urinary symptoms, and reduces risk of acute urinary retention over 1\u20132 years.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hirsutism<\/strong> (female): off-label. Not FDA-approved for women of reproductive age \u2014 pregnancy risk (see contraindications).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How Finasteride Works for Hair<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In genetically susceptible men, scalp follicles are exposed to DHT which causes them to progressively shrink, producing the thinning and recession pattern of androgenetic alopecia. Finasteride reduces scalp DHT by ~60%. Over 3\u20136 months, miniaturised follicles can recover, restoring thicker, longer hair shafts. Newly miniaturised follicles cannot recover \u2014 <strong>earlier treatment yields better outcomes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Hoe in te nemen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water at roughly the same time each day. With or without food.<\/li>\n<li>Expect <strong>3 months for initial signs<\/strong> (reduced shedding), <strong>6 months for visible regrowth<\/strong>, en <strong>12 months for peak response<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Take it consistently \u2014 missing doses reduces DHT suppression. If you miss one, take as soon as you remember unless it is close to the next dose. Do not double-dose.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Commit for at least 12 months<\/strong> before judging response. Many men abandon finasteride too early (3\u20134 months).<\/li>\n<li>Discontinuation reverses gains within 6\u201312 months. Lifetime use is the norm for maintained benefit.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>Bijwerkingen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Common (1\u20132%):<\/strong> decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced ejaculate volume, gynecomastia (breast tenderness \/ enlargement), mood changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minder vaak:<\/strong> depression, anxiety, skin rash, testicular discomfort.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Post-finasteride syndrome (PFS):<\/strong> a contested but reported phenomenon where sexual, cognitive, or mood side effects persist after discontinuation. Incidence is low but real; men who experience sexual side effects while on finasteride should discuss stopping earlier rather than continuing and hoping symptoms resolve.<\/p>\n<p>Most sexual side effects resolve within weeks of stopping the drug. Persistent effects are the concerning minority.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who Should Not Take Finrest<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Women of reproductive age<\/strong> \u2014 finasteride is teratogenic (causes feminisation of male fetuses). Do not handle crushed or broken tablets if pregnant or trying to conceive.<\/li>\n<li>Known hypersensitivity to finasteride or dutasteride<\/li>\n<li>Caution in liver impairment \u2014 finasteride is hepatically cleared<\/li>\n<li>Monitor PSA on men taking 5 mg \u2014 finasteride <strong>lowers PSA ~50%<\/strong>, which can mask prostate cancer detection. Double PSA readings are the convention for interpretation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Geneesmiddelinteracties<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PSA testing:<\/strong> finasteride halves PSA levels. Tell your clinician before any PSA check.<\/li>\n<li>Finasteride has few pharmacokinetic interactions; it is a substrate of CYP3A4 but blood levels of interacting drugs are typically unaffected.<\/li>\n<li>No significant interactions with hormonal contraceptives, antibiotics, or antihypertensives at standard doses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Finasteride vs Dutasteride<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Finasteride inhibits type-2 5-alpha-reductase only. Dutasteride inhibits both type-1 and type-2, resulting in ~90% DHT suppression (vs ~70% for finasteride) \u2014 somewhat stronger hair regrowth in trials, but with slightly higher sexual side effect risk and NOT FDA-approved for AGA in the US (off-label outside South Korea\/Japan).

Keep tablets in the original blister. Keep out of reach of children \u2014 particularly of women of reproductive age (teratogenic).<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">Veelgestelde vragen<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Finrest fully stop my hair loss?<\/h3>\n<p>In 80\u201390% of men, finasteride halts further loss. In 60\u201370%, it produces visible regrowth. Response is best at the crown; hairline recession responds less reliably.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hoelang duurt het voordat ik resultaten zie?<\/h3>\n<p>Expect ~3 months for reduced shedding, ~6 months for visible regrowth, and ~12 months for peak response. Abandoning before 12 months means you have not completed a fair trial.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I stop taking Finrest?<\/h3>\n<p>Hair gained reverts to baseline within 6\u201312 months of discontinuation. Ongoing benefit requires continuous daily use.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is 1 mg really enough?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 for hair loss. 1 mg\/day is the FDA-approved and extensively-studied dose. The 5 mg formulation is the BPH dose and does not produce meaningfully better hair outcomes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I combine Finrest with minoxidil?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 highly recommended. Minoxidil + finasteride is the combination with the strongest evidence base for male-pattern baldness. They target different pathways and the effects are additive.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about side effects?<\/h3>\n<p>About 1\u20132% of men report sexual side effects (libido, erectile function, ejaculate volume). Most resolve on stopping. Rare persistent post-finasteride syndrome (PFS) exists and is the reason some men prefer topical minoxidil alone.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why must pregnant women avoid handling Finrest?<\/h3>\n<p>Finasteride is teratogenic \u2014 it can cause feminisation of a male fetus&#8217;s external genitalia if absorbed during pregnancy. Tablets are coated, so intact handling is safe, but crushed or broken tablets release powder. Store away from anyone pregnant.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Will Finrest affect PSA tests?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes \u2014 finasteride approximately halves PSA levels. Always tell your physician you are taking it before any PSA test. The convention is to double the measured PSA for interpretation in men on finasteride.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Finrest cause weight gain?<\/h3>\n<p>Not documented as a direct effect. Some men report weight shifts from associated changes in exercise or mood, but there is no pharmacological weight-gain mechanism.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I drink alcohol with Finrest?<\/h3>\n<p>No direct interaction. Moderate alcohol is generally fine. Very heavy drinking stresses the liver and may impact long-term finasteride metabolism, but day-to-day use does not require avoidance.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gerelateerde producten &amp; gidsen<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/finasteride-vs-dutasteride\/\">Finasteride vs Dutasteride Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/minoxidil-5-vs-10-percent\/\">Minoxidil 5% vs 10% Guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-hair-loss\/\">Everything About Hair Loss<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/how-to-stop-hair-loss-a-guide-to-saving-your-hair\/\">How to Stop Hair Loss<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/can-you-prevent-hair-loss-before-its-too-late\/\">Can You Prevent Hair Loss?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/tugain-foam\/\">Tugain Foam (Minoxidil 5%)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/nl\/tugain-solution\/\">Tugain Solution (Minoxidil 10%)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 20px;margin:16px 0;border-radius:4px;font-size:0.9em;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>\u2695\ufe0f Medische disclaimer:<\/strong> Information on this page is for educational purposes and does not replace medical advice.
