Finpecia - Finasteride - Cipla - 1mg

Description

Finpecia or Finasteride is a very potent type II 5a-reductase inhibitor which prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In addition, it is used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is the enlargement of the prostate. Bodybuilding side, bodybuilders use it in prevention against hair loss.

Studies have shown that Finpecia will reduce serum DHT levels by approximately 65 to 70 % and DHT levels in the prostate by up to 90 %. By blocking the production of DHT, Finasteride reduces the activity of androgens on the scalp and reduces the size of the prostate, thus improving benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. Which leads to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Normally about 5 % of testosterone converts to DHT in men. When a bodybuilder takes a DHT derivative such as Winstrol or Masteron, the amount of DHT in the body increases. This then causes hair loss. It is important to remember that if testosterone levels increase, you will have more DHT in the body. Bodypuilders want to prevent this conversion as much as possible so as not to lose their hair. This is why Finasteride is used. This compound keeps existing hair, and also helps it grow faster.

In terms of dosages, for the treatment of androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness in men, the prescribed and recommended dosage is generally 1 mg per day for 6 to 12 months. For the treatment of an enlarged prostate or BPH on the other hand, a higher medical dose is advised, which is usually 5 mg per day for an extended period.

For bodybuilders and athletes looking to reduce the androgenic effects of converting testosterone to DHT, the recommended dosage of Finpecia is 1 mg per day over the duration of the testosterone cycle.
