Overview

Finaintas 5mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Finasteride 5mg as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Finaintas 5mg Tablet at about the same time every day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or split the tablet if you are a woman who is or may become pregnant, as finasteride can be absorbed through the skin. Continue treatment as prescribed even if you do not notice an immediate change in your symptoms.

Dosage

The usual dose of Finaintas 5mg Tablet for BPH is one tablet (5mg) taken once daily. Your doctor will confirm the right dose and duration for your condition; noticeable improvement in urinary symptoms usually takes several weeks to months of continuous treatment, and it may take up to six to twelve months to see the full effect on prostate size.

Side Effects

  • Decreased libido
  • Erectile dysfunction
  • Reduced semen volume
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement
  • Skin rash
  • Depression or mood changes (rare)

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to finasteride or any ingredient in this product
  • Women who are or may become pregnant must not handle crushed or broken tablets, as skin contact may harm a male foetus
  • Not indicated for use in women or children
  • Significant liver impairment (use with caution and medical supervision)

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Finasteride lowers blood PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels by about half, so always tell your doctor you are taking it before a PSA test for prostate cancer screening
  • Can be taken with or without food, as absorption is not significantly affected by meals
  • No clinically significant interactions with common cardiovascular or diabetes medicines have been established, but always disclose all medicines to your doctor
  • Avoid combining with other 5-alpha reductase inhibitors unless directed by your doctor

Quick Tips

  • Always tell your doctor you are taking this medicine before having a PSA blood test
  • Improvement in urinary symptoms takes weeks to months – do not stop early because results feel slow
  • Sexual side effects such as reduced libido are usually reversible after stopping treatment, but discuss any changes with your doctor
  • Report any new mood changes or low mood to your doctor, as rare mood-related side effects have been reported
  • Avoid donating blood while on treatment and for one month after your last dose, as your blood should not be given to a pregnant woman
  • Do not let women who are or may become pregnant handle broken or crushed tablets
