ACTIVE INGREDIENT: FINASTERIDE
Finstam is a specialized medication containing Finasteride. It belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. It works by blocking the action of an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In the prostate gland, DHT is the primary hormone responsible for growth; by lowering DHT levels, Finstam helps to shrink an enlarged prostate and improve associated symptoms.
The 5mg strength of Finasteride is specifically indicated for the treatment and control of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as an enlarged prostate. It is used to:
Shrink the Prostate: Reduce the physical size of the enlarged gland.
Improve Urinary Flow: Relieve symptoms such as difficulty starting urination, weak stream, and the feeling that the bladder is not completely empty.
Reduce Nighttime Urination: Decrease the frequency of waking up at night to urinate (nocturia).
Prevent Complications: Lower the risk of "Acute Urinary Retention" (sudden inability to pass urine) and the potential need for prostate surgery.
Finasteride (5mg): A potent inhibitor that specifically targets Type II 5-alpha reductase, significantly lowering serum and prostatic DHT levels.
Standard Dose: One (1) 5mg tablet daily.
Consistency: Take the tablet at the same time every day to maintain a steady level of the medicine in your body.
With or Without Food: Finstam can be taken with or without a meal.
Swallow Whole: Do not crush or chew the tablet.
Patience is Key: It may take 6 months or longer of consistent daily use to see the full clinical benefits and significant shrinkage of the prostate.
Long-term Therapy: BPH is a chronic condition; you must continue taking Finstam as directed by your doctor, even if you feel better, to prevent the prostate from growing again.
Handling Warning (Women): CRITICAL: Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must not handle crushed or broken Finstam tablets. The medication can be absorbed through the skin and may cause serious birth defects in a male fetus.
Prostate Cancer Screening: Finasteride can lower the levels of a blood marker called PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) by about 50%. If you are undergoing screening for prostate cancer, you must inform your doctor that you are taking Finstam so they can interpret the results correctly.
Mood Changes: Inform our pharmacist if you experience persistent low mood, depression, or suicidal thoughts while taking this medication.
Sexual Side Effects: Some men may experience a decrease in libido (sex drive), erectile dysfunction, or a decrease in the amount of semen released during sex. These effects usually disappear if the medication is stopped.
Indicated For: Men with symptomatic Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). It is not indicated for use in women or children.
Q: Can I use this for hair loss?
A: While Finasteride is used for male pattern baldness, that is typically done at a lower 1mg dose. The 5mg Finstam tablet is specifically formulated and indicated for prostate health. Consult our pharmacist for the correct product for hair loss.
Q: Does it work immediately?
A: No. While some men notice an improvement in urinary flow within a few weeks, the maximum effect on the size of the prostate gland often takes 6 to 12 months of daily treatment.
Q: Will it affect my blood pressure?
A: Unlike some other prostate medications (alpha-blockers), Finasteride generally does not affect blood pressure and is unlikely to cause dizziness upon standing.
