Finpecia

🌟 Introduction to Finpecia (Finasteride)

Finpecia, a trusted generic by Cipla Limited, is a breakthrough in treating androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). As a selective 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels, addressing the root cause of hair follicle shrinkage and prostate enlargement. Clinically proven to regrow hair in 83% of men within 6–12 months, Finpecia offers a cost-effective alternative to branded drugs like Propecia. Its compact 15-tablet strip ensures convenience for long-term users, while Cipla’s stringent quality control guarantees global compliance.

🩺 Expert Opinion: Dr. Priya Sharma

*“Finpecia’s 1 mg formulation is ideal for early-stage hair loss. Patients often see visible results within 6 months, but discontinuation reverses benefits. Always pair with a dermatologist’s guidance.”*
