is a drug used to treat male pattern baldness and enlarged prostate. The condition is due to the presence of excess androgen (male hormone). Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which causes hair loss and an increase in prostate size.
Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Finasteride inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase in the body, thereby reducing the amount of DHT that is excreted in the body. This reduction of DHT causes hair loss, and it also helps in the treatment of male pattern baldness. As the body gets used to DHT, hair follicles shrink, causing hair loss to subside. Finasteride prevents the conversion of testosterone to DHT, thus reducing the levels of DHT in the body.
