Prostacare 5mg Tablet is an effective treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone to DHT. It offers symptom relief and can improve quality of life for men with BPH-related urinary symptoms or hair loss concerns.
Prostacare 5mg Tablet contains Finasteride (5mg) as its active ingredient. Finasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is a key factor in the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness.
This medication is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss by reducing the effects of DHT.
