Description
Finostar 1mg Tablet is a medicine used to treat an enlarged prostate in men, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). In BPH, the prostate gland becomes larger, which can make it difficult to pass urine. Finostar helps by shrinking the prostate over time, making it easier to urinate and reducing symptoms like frequent urination or a weak urine flow.
This medicine contains finasteride, which works by blocking a hormone that causes the prostate to grow. With regular use, it helps improve urinary flow and may reduce the risk of complications related to an enlarged prostate.
Finostar 1mg Tablet should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food, and it is important to take it at the same time each day. Do not skip doses or stop taking it suddenly, as this can reduce its effectiveness.
This medicine is intended only for men over 18 years of age. Women, children, and adolescents should not use this tablet. Before starting Finostar, inform your doctor about your complete medical history, including any liver problems or other medications you are taking.
It may take several months of regular use to notice improvement in symptoms. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are important to monitor progress and ensure the medicine is working effectively.
