Finalo Tablet is used to manage male pattern hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, in men. This medicine belongs to a group of medications called 5α-reductase inhibitors.

Besides managing hair loss on the top of the head and the anterior mid-scalp area, it also plays a significant role in reducing the progression of male pattern hair loss. However, its effectiveness in bitemporal recession (receding hairline at the temples) is yet to be established.

Before starting this medication, you should consult your doctor to determine the correct dosage and frequency. It's important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you observe any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Finalo Tablet may lead to the following side effects:

Decreased libido: This means you may experience a lower sexual desire than usual.
Erectile dysfunction
Ejaculation disorder: You might face difficulties during ejaculation, such as premature or delayed ejaculation.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Finalo Tablet. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Decreased libido: Try taking Finalo Tablet in the evening which might help manage this side effect.
Erectile dysfunction: Taking Finalo Tablet with meals can possibly reduce this effect.

Finalo Tablet contains finasteride (1 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

Inhibits Type II 5α-reductase: Finasteride works by blocking an enzyme in your body called Type II 5α-reductase. This enzyme transforms testosterone into DHT, a type of hormone that contributes to hair loss.
Reduces DHT concentrations: By inhibiting the activity of Type II 5α-reductase, finasteride effectively reduces the concentrations of DHT in the scalp and the serum. This action helps in slowing down the progression of male pattern hair loss.

Pregnancy

Finalo Tablet is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, make sure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Finalo Tablet is contraindicated for breastfeeding/lactating women. Consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Kidney
