What is Fincar?

Fincar 5 mg is a fast-acting and effective treatment for male pattern baldness. Its active ingredient, Finasteride, counteracts the action of alpha reductase type 5, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the main component that causes male pattern baldness.

DHT weakens hair follicles and causes hair loss. By reducing its activity, Fincar helps stop hair loss and promotes hair growth by increasing the body’s available testosterone.
