Understanding Finasteride: Your Ally for Prostate Health & Hair Preservation
Finasteride is a trusted 5-alpha reductase inhibitor medication that has been helping Filipino men manage benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss for decades. As an essential medicine listed in the Philippine National Formulary 8th Edition (5mg tablet for BPH), you can be confident this is a government-approved, evidence-based treatment for men's health concerns.
How Finasteride Works (Simple Explanation)
Imagine your body converts testosterone into DHT (dihydrotestosterone)—a hormone that makes your prostate grow larger and causes hair follicles to shrink. Finasteride acts like a "smart blocker" that stops this conversion. Think of it as turning off the faucet that's flooding your prostate and starving your hair:
- Shrinks enlarged prostate (reducing urinary symptoms)
- Improves urine flow and reduces nighttime bathroom trips
- Stops hair loss and promotes regrowth in male pattern baldness
- Prevents progression of BPH complications

Mahalagang Impormasyon sa Tagalog
Finasteride: Ang Kaibigan ng Lalaki para sa Prostate at Buhok
Ang Finasteride ay isang 5-alpha reductase inhibitor na gamot na matagal nang tinatagalan ng mga Pilipino para sa benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) o malaking prostate at pagkawala ng buhok sa lalaki. Ayon sa Philippine National Formulary (8th Edition), ito ay aprubado ng DOH bilang essential medicine para sa kalusugan ng prostate.
Paano Gumagana ang Finasteride?
Isipin na ang iyong katawan ay nagko-convert ng testosterone sa DHT—isang hormone na nagpapalaki ng prostate at nagpapahina ng hair follicles. Ang Finasteride ay parang "smart blocker" na humihinto sa conversion na ito. Resulta: lumiliit ang prostate, bumibilis ang ihi, at tumitigil ang pagkawala ng buhok.
