Overview

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

Directions for Use

Take Fincar 5mg Tablet once daily, at about the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Improvement in urinary symptoms usually takes several months to become noticeable, so continue taking this medicine as prescribed even if you do not notice an immediate difference.

Dosage

The usual dose of Fincar 5mg Tablet for BPH is one 5mg tablet once daily. If your doctor is treating male pattern hair loss, they will determine the appropriate dose and regimen for your situation, as the dose typically used for hair loss is lower than the standard BPH dose. Always take this medicine exactly as prescribed and do not adjust the dose yourself.
