Finax 1mg (Finasteride) Tablet

What Is Finax 1mg?

Finax 1 mg is a prescription tablet containing Finasteride, a treatment for male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. Each tablet delivers 1 mg of Finasteride to slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth in men aged 18 to 41 years. Finasteride belongs to the drug class called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, which block the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the hormone responsible for hair follicle shrinkage. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finax 1 mg helps preserve existing hair and promotes the regrowth of thinning areas, especially at the crown and mid-scalp region. The 1 mg dose offers optimal efficacy for hair loss management. Higher doses, such as 5 mg of Finasteride, are used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in older men, but the 1 mg formulation is specifically indicated for androgenetic alopecia.

What Is Finax 1mg Used For?

Finax 1 mg is used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. Androgenetic alopecia occurs when scalp hair follicles shrink due to increased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), leading to thinning and eventual hair loss. The medicine helps preserve existing hair and stimulate regrowth, especially on the vertex and mid-scalp regions.

Finax 1 mg promotes regrowth and prevents further hair loss. The medicine is indicated for men with mild to moderate androgenetic alopecia who want to slow baldness progression and enhance scalp coverage. Its action targets the hormonal pathway responsible for hair miniaturization, helping restore thicker and stronger hair strands over consistent use.

In two-year placebo-controlled trials, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, involving 1,553 men, finasteride 1 mg significantly reduced hair loss progression. About 83% of treated men maintained or increased their hair count, compared to continued loss in the placebo group. Continuous treatment was found necessary to sustain results.

How Does Finax 1mg Work?

Finax 1 mg works by reducing DHT levels that cause hair loss. The medicine contains finasteride, a selective inhibitor of the type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is the key androgen responsible for shrinking scalp hair follicles in men with androgenetic alopecia. In men genetically prone to baldness, DHT binds to receptors in the follicles and triggers follicular miniaturization. Miniaturization is a process that produces finer, shorter hair until growth stops. By suppressing DHT formation, Finax prevents this shrinkage and promotes normal hair regrowth.

Finax 1 mg provides results through consistent daily dosing. Finasteride reaches maximum DHT suppression within 24 hours, but visible hair improvement appears after several months of regular use. Continuous treatment is necessary to maintain benefits since DHT levels return to baseline about 14 days after stopping the medicine. Finax 1 mg offers targeted action with high enzyme selectivity. Finasteride has nearly 100-fold selectivity for type II over type I 5-alpha reductase, minimizing hormonal effects on other tissues. This precise mechanism makes Finax a safe and effective treatment option for male pattern hair loss when used under medical supervision.

What Is The Recommended Dosage Of Finax 1mg?

The recommended dosage of Finax 1 mg is one tablet taken orally once daily.

The 1 mg daily dose represents the clinically established standard for treating male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) in men. Finasteride at this strength provides optimal efficacy and safety compared to lower or higher doses tested in clinical studies.

Finax 1 mg should be taken consistently each day. You can take the tablet with or without food at any convenient time, provided it is taken regularly at the same time daily to maintain steady drug levels. Each tablet must be swallowed whole with water and not crushed, chewed, or broken, as this may alter absorption. Finax 1 mg requires long-term daily use for visible results. Clinical improvement begins with a reduction in hair shedding within the first month, but noticeable regrowth usually requires 6 to 12 months of consistent treatment. Maximum benefits appear after 12–24 months, with the study titled, Evaluation of long-term efficacy of finasteride in Korean men with androgenetic alopecia using the basic and specific classification system, showing that 85.7% of men maintained improved hair density and reduced loss after 5 years of continuous use.

Finax 1 mg must be continued to sustain results. When treatment stops, DHT levels return to normal within weeks, and hair follicles again become susceptible to miniaturization, leading to renewed hair loss. For lasting improvement, ongoing therapy is essential. Finax 1 mg is intended only for adult men. Finax 1 mg demonstrates proven safety and long-term efficacy. Five-year and ten-year clinical trials, as published in The Journal of Dermatology,  among Japanese and Korean men confirm sustained effectiveness and a stable safety profile with prolonged use. Continuous treatment preserves hair growth and prevents further progression of baldness without new significant adverse effects.

What Are The Drug Interactions Of Finax 1mg?

Below is a list of drugs that can potentially interact with Finax 1mg.

• Acetaminophen and acetylsalicylic acid
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen
• Alpha-blockers
• Analgesics
• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
