Overview

Finastir 5 mg 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

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, with or without food, at approximately the same time each day. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered unless it is almost time for the next dose, in which case the missed dose should be skipped – do not double the dose. Women who are or may become pregnant should avoid handling crushed or broken tablets, as finasteride can be absorbed through the skin and may harm a male foetus.

Dosage

The usual dose for BPH is one 5mg tablet taken once daily. It may take 3 to 6 months of continuous use before an improvement in symptoms becomes noticeable, and the doctor will assess response over this period. This 5mg strength must not be used interchangeably with finasteride 1mg (used for hair loss) – the prescribed strength and duration of treatment should always be confirmed with the treating doctor.

Storage Instructions

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

Contraindications

  • Women, and particularly women who are or may become pregnant – finasteride must not be used or handled by pregnant women due to the risk of harm to a male foetus

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Finasteride can lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results – inform your doctor that you are taking this medicine before any PSA screening, as results may need to be adjusted when interpreting for prostate cancer risk

Quick Tips

  • Take your tablet at the same time each day and continue treatment as prescribed, even if you do not notice an immediate change in symptoms
  • Allow at least 3 to 6 months of continuous use before assessing whether the medicine is working, and discuss progress with your doctor at follow-up visits
  • Tell your doctor you are taking finasteride before any PSA blood test, as it affects the result
