It is a 4-azasteroid compound. It is a specific inhibitor of type II 5a-reductase, an intracellular enzyme that metabolizes testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. It can very effectively reduce dihydrotestosterone in the blood and prostate. That is, by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), it reduces the size of the prostate and improves symptoms, increases urine flow rate, and prevents benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

One study showed that using finasteride could prevent men from developing prostate cancer for up to 16 years. The researchers found that 3,244 PCPT participants were diagnosed with prostate cancer an average of 16 years later than the control group. They also found that PCPT participants who took finasteride had a 21% lower risk of death from prostate cancer over 16 years. Researchers say finasteride delays the onset of prostate cancer in patients by seven years longer than previously thought. The drug can protect men from prostate cancer for up to 16 years after they stop using it.

What are the side effects of finasteride?

Finasteride side effects include gynecomastia, an abnormal development of the male breast glands that causes male breasts to become enlarged. This is one of the side effects of finasteride treatment and occurs in about 2.2% of people during treatment. Patients should talk to their doctor to learn more about medications that cause abnormal breast development.

Rash, itching, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue are common allergic reactions to finasteride. In addition, body pain or tenderness, nipple discharge and testicular pain may also occur.

It has also been linked to depression. Possible causes include decreased sexual desire or an inability to satisfy a sexual partner. However, depression can also be caused by inappropriate medication use or dosage. Symptoms of depression vary from person to person and can sometimes keep a person in a low mood for more than 2 weeks and interfere with normal life. If the problem becomes severe, you should consult your doctor and stop taking the medication.
