Bio Chemical Notes
Finasteride is used for treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and for stimulation of regrowth of hair in men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia. It inhibits type II 5a-reductase (competitive and specific) which blocks the peripheral conversion of testosterone to DHT. Ref: Drugs. 1999; 57 (1), 111-126.
