非那雄胺使用方法是什么,如何正确停用非那雄胺？

Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a slowly progressing disease mainly caused by androgens and abnormal cell proliferation. Benign prostatic hyperplasia is one of the most common causes of urinary dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly male patients, and its incidence gradually increases with the age of the patient. Therefore, it is crucial to take active and effective treatment measures. Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a difficult surgical treatment, but it has high value for patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and can improve the clinical symptoms and prognosis of patients. Finasteride is an effective drug for the treatment of BPH patients. It has the advantages of good efficacy and few adverse reactions. So, what is the method of using finasteride and how to stop using finasteride correctly?

How to use finasteride

: 5 mg (1 tablet) each time, once a day, taken on an empty stomach or with food.

How to properly stop taking finasteride

Finasteride needs to be taken for a long time in clinical practice. If the drug needs to be discontinued, it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a physician for 3 to 6 months before considering reducing the dosage and discontinuing the drug. If you reduce the dosage too early, the effect may be affected. Because the drug has a relatively slow onset of action and takes a long time to reach steady-state treatment, finasteride tablets need to be taken for a long time, continuously for more than 6 months, so that the therapeutic effect of the drug can be sustainable and stable. However, when severe allergic reactions occur, use should be discontinued immediately. If other side effects occur while taking the medicine, please stop taking the medicine in time under the guidance of a physician.
