浅谈一下非那雄胺这个药物

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a disease that is highly prevalent in middle-aged and elderly men, especially as age increases, the incidence of this disease increases significantly. According to epidemiological surveys, the incidence of BPH among elderly men over 80 years old in my country is as high as 60%. BPH can cause patients to suffer from impaired urinary function and symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and frequent nocturia, which will have a serious impact on their quality of life in their later years. At the same time, BPH has a long course and is difficult to treat. Therefore, research on how to treat BPH has great social significance. Among the drugs used to treat this disease, finasteride has attracted a lot of attention. Today, the editor of Medical Companion Travel will take you to learn about this drug.

The mechanism of finasteride in treating BPH is to inhibit the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, thereby reducing the concentration of dihydrotestosterone in prostate tissue, inhibiting prostate hyperplasia and reducing its size. Finasteride, as a 5α-reductase inhibitor, can specifically compete with 5α-reductase to block the synthesis of dihydrotestosterone, thereby inhibiting BPH. At the same time, finasteride can also induce prostate cell apoptosis, reduce blood vessel formation in prostate tissue, and reduce the adhesion function between prostate epithelium, further strengthening the therapeutic effect on BPH.

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