Λεπτομέρειες φαρμάκου

Περιγραφή

Φιναστερίδη είναι ένα φάρμακο με ιατρική συνταγή που χρησιμοποιείται κυρίως για τη θεραπεία της ανδρογενετικής αλωπεκίας (ανδρική τριχόπτωση) στο πάνω μέρος και στο κέντρο του τριχωτού της κεφαλής.

Λειτουργεί εμποδίζοντας τη μετατροπή της τεστοστερόνης σε διυδροτεστοστερόνη (DHT), μια ορμόνη που συμβάλλει στην τριχόπτωση. Η φιναστερίδη 1mg έχει αποδειχθεί ιδιαίτερα αποτελεσματική στην επιβράδυνση της τριχόπτωσης και στην προώθηση της ανάπτυξης νέων τριχών.

Συστατικά

The active substance is finasteride, with each film-coated tablet containing 1 mg. In addition to the active ingredient, the tablet core contains lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, pregelatinised maize starch, sodium starch glycolate, lauryl macrogolglycerides, and magnesium stearate. The protective film coating consists of hypromellose, titanium dioxide, macrogol 6000, and both red and yellow iron oxides.

Παρενέργειες

Decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, reduced ejaculate volume. These effects often resolve after discontinuing treatment.

Προειδοποιήσεις

Sildenafil carries several warnings that users should be aware of. It should never be used in combination with nitrate-based medications or nitric oxide donors, as this can cause a dangerously low blood pressure. Patients with serious heart conditions, severe liver or kidney impairment, or those who have recently had a heart attack or stroke should consult a doctor before using sildenafil.

Special caution is advised for individuals taking alpha-blockers or antihypertensives due to the increased risk of hypotension. Side effects such as headache, dizziness, flushing, or visual disturbances may occur. In the case of a prolonged erection (more than 4 hours) or sudden loss of vision or hearing, immediate medical attention is required. Do not use sildenafil if allergic to sildenafil or any of its components.

Συχνές Ερωτήσεις

Can women use Finasteride for hair loss?

No, Finasteride is intended for use by men only. Women should not use this medication, particularly if pregnant or planning to become pregnant, due to potential risks to the developing fetus.

How long does it take to see results with Finasteride?

Results may vary, but it usually takes 3 to 6 months of continuous use to observe noticeable improvements in hair growth and reduction in hair loss.

Can I stop taking Finasteride once I see results?

It's essential to continue taking Finasteride as prescribed to maintain the benefits. Discontinuing the medication may lead to a reversal of the positive effects.

Is Finasteride safe for long-term use?

Long-term safety studies have shown that Finasteride is generally well-tolerated and effective for men with male pattern hair loss. However, consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance based on your health profile.

Can I use Finasteride and Minoxidil together?

Yes, many dermatologists recommend using both. They work via different mechanisms: Finasteride stops the hormonal cause of hair loss (DHT), while Minoxidil (Rogaine) stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles. Using them together can often yield better results than using either alone.
