Overview

Finagen 5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Finasteride 5mg. It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Finagen 5mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Finagen 5mg Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or split tablets if a woman who is or may become pregnant could come into contact with them, as finasteride can be absorbed through the skin.

Dosage

The dose and regimen for Finagen 5mg Tablet depend on the indication your doctor is treating – dosing for BPH and for hair loss can differ, and your doctor will individualise this based on your condition and response. Do not adjust your dose or split tablets on your own; follow your doctor’s specific instructions, and be aware that visible improvement, whether in urinary symptoms or hair growth, typically takes several months of continuous use.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

  • Always tell your doctor you are taking this medicine before a PSA blood test
  • Sexual side effects are usually reversible after stopping treatment, but discuss any changes with your doctor promptly
