Finasteride is primarily used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) and male pattern hair loss.
Finasteride works as a specific inhibitor of steroid Type II 5α-reductase, which is an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By inhibiting this enzyme, finasteride reduces the levels of DHT, which helps in treating conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenic alopecia.
Finasteride is commonly marketed under the brand names Propecia and Proscar.
