Finasteride (Proscar or Propecia) is a medication used in dogs to restore infertility issues caused by benign prostatic hypertrophy (an enlargement of the prostate gland caused by hormones) and treat the general clinical signs associated with it.
Finasteride is a hormone antagonist which stops testosterone from being converted to dihydrotestosterone, the hormone that stimulates prostate growth. Finasteride can be used to help with signs related to benign prostatic hypertrophy such as increased urge to urinate, straining to defecate, and blood in the urine.
Finasteride blocks production of the body's male hormone, which causes prostate enlargement.
Finasteride for dogs is used in the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlarged prostate) in dogs.
Please use according to your veterinarian's instructions.
Finasteride is generally well tolerated but GI side effects are possible and decreased semen volume.

Finasteride is used to:
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate cancer.
BPH caused by the accumulation of prostatic hormones, such as testosterone.
Prostatic hyperplasia caused by the presence of prostatic materials in the bladder and/or the prostate.
Conditions such as urinary retention, urinary incontinence.
Finasteride is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), such as frequent and difficult urination. Besides this, it is also used to treat male pattern hair loss.
Finasteride contains Finasteride, which works by blocking the action of male hormones that cause prostate enlargement and hair loss. Thereby, it helps treat BPH and male pattern hair loss.
In some cases, Finasteride may cause low sexual desire, impotence (erectile dysfunction), abnormal ejaculation, or trouble having an orgasm. Most of these side effects of Finasteride may not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Do not take Finasteride if you are allergic to any of its components. Finasteride is not intended for use in women and children. Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
Treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and male pattern hair loss.
Finasteride belongs to a class of medicines called 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in men with enlarged prostate. It also may decrease the need for prostate surgery. Additionally, it is also used to treat male pattern hair loss. Finasteride works by blocking the action of male hormones that cause the prostate to enlarge and hair loss.
• Finasteride can be taken with or without food. • It is usually taken once daily at the same time each day or as prescribed by your doctor. • Swallow Finasteride as a whole with a glass of water. • Do not crush, chew, or break it.
Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight
Finasteride is used to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) in men. Clinical studies have shown that FinasterideWarning contains a risk of passing into the breast milk.
Before taking Finasteride: • Keep the doctor informed about your health condition and medications to the exclusion of all foods. • Finasteride is not intended for use in women and children. • • Please discuss your medical history with the doctor before you use Finasteride. • • Finasteride is not recommended for use in children. • • Please discuss your medications when using Finasteride. Please follow the instructions given by the doctor to please use Finasteride. • • If you have any concerns, please consult your doctor.
Low sexual desire, impotence, abnormal ejaculation, and trouble having an orgasm can occur with the use of Finasteride. It may also occur when the medicine is taken with other medicines. If you experience any of these side effects or have any concerns, please consult your doctor for the best outcome.
Propecia is an oral medication that is used to treat male pattern hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and to slow down the progression of hair loss in the vertex and anterior mid-scalp area of the scalp (the area between the vertex and the anterior mid-scalp). Propecia was approved by the FDA in 1997.
Propecia (finasteride) is a medication that works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is a hormone that can cause hair follicles to shrink and eventually stop producing new hair. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, Propecia helps to slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth.
Take Propecia exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider, including a full glass of water.
Take Propecia with a full glass of water as directed by your doctor. Do not lie down for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication, as this will reduce the effectiveness of the medication. Be sure to drink plenty of water to help maintain a normal level of your body’s natural hormone levels.
Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Some people may experience symptoms like nausea, vomiting, breast tenderness, or decreased libido while taking this medication. If you continue taking the medication, talk to your doctor about whether your symptoms are improving or worsening.
While Propecia is generally safe when used as directed, it is important to note that it may not be as effective when used with other medications or over-the-counter (OTC) medications. For example, using a topical cream for hair loss might not be effective and may cause allergic reactions, especially in the elderly or women.
To minimize the risk of side effects and ensure that Propecia is safe for you, talk to your healthcare provider about other medications or OTC medications. Your doctor will be able to provide you with more information on these interactions.
The most common side effects of Propecia include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, breast tenderness, decreased sexual desire, and sexual dysfunction. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions and report any side effects to the appropriate healthcare provider promptly.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop taking Propecia and seek medical attention immediately.
If you are concerned about the sexual side effects of Propecia, you should speak to your healthcare provider. They will be able to provide you with more information about the potential side effects and provide you with a safe and effective treatment plan.
Store Propecia at room temperature between 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C). Do not store in the bathroom. Keep Propecia out of the reach of children and away from pets and children. Do not freeze the medication.
Pharmacology:Pharmacodynamics:Finasteride is a potent F2 (ilippid) inhibitor which falls through the plasma to reach the free levels in a concentration dependent manner. This F2 (ilippid) inhibitor clearance is a complex interplay of various physiological phenomena and is modulated by several factors, including renal and hepatic dysfunction, renal blood flow, renal function, cardiac and hepatic factors, various pharmacologic routes, cardiac and cardiac pathology, various pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The pharmacokinetic perspective is that while plasma concentrations are directly related to clearance, steady state is influenced by factors such as pharmacokinetically active (APIs) and lipophilically active (LAVI) ingredients. These factors are all crucial for determining the extent of inhibitor attainment and therefore determining the optimal concentration for optimal treatment response.
Mechanism of action:
F2Icolloidalirrowth:This F2 (ilippid) inhibitor is a potent F2I2 inhibitor with a unique mechanism of action in the context of which it is primarily used to treat certain forms of hair loss. However, in clinical practice, and as noted previously, F2Icolloidalirrowth has been documented in a variety of conditions including alopecia, balding, and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). F2Icolloidalirrowth has been documented in BPH in different ways including in the literature, as well as in the results of a clinical trial. In clinical practice, and as noted previously, a variety of different studies have shown documented F2Icolloidalirrowth activity in terms of the degree of hair growth, the percentage of hair regrowth, and the overall clinical effect. A LAVI or a LOS or an AVF or an IBU or DBU (the conversion of to F2I2 F2I2÷Cl) may also be documented. In clinical trials, a variety of LIVIs, LIDs, LIDs with different characteristics and LIDs with different characteristics have been documented which have resulted in documented F2Icolloidalirrowth activity in terms of the percentage of hair regrowth, the clinical effect, and the overall clinical effect.In terms of the LIDs, the data are very solid with an overall clinical effect of 74.8% documented and the overall clinical effect of 68.1% documented. The data are also very solid given the LIDs and the clinical effect has been documented in both clinical trials and LAVIs and LIDs documented. The data have been collected from 3,000 men (mean: men: 4,902) and the data have shown that the percentage regrowth has been 76.8% in men with BPH, 68.1% in men with AVF, and 68.1% in men with LIDs. The data have also been analysed in relation to the response, with data for men taking IBU and men taking LID/LIV/AVF/IBU/DBU/DV/LID/AVF/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/LID/AVF/LID/AVF/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID/VF. A LIDs analysis of data from 3,000 men showed 76.8% regrowth in men taking IBU, 66.6% regrowth in men taking LID/LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID, and 75.92% regrowth in men taking LIDs with a mean of 4, 3, and 5 LIDs. The overall response rate was 82. (84.2%) in men taking IBU, 67.8% in men taking LID/LID, and 71. (66.1) in men taking AVF/IBU/DV/LID. The response rate in men taking IBU was also 76.8% in men taking LID/AVF/IBU/DV/LID, 65.
