Finasteride 1mg is a medication that contains the active ingredient finasteride. It is commonly used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. Finasteride works by decreasing the production of a hormone that causes the prostate gland to grow. This helps reduce symptoms such as frequent or difficult urination. If you are a man experiencing BPH symptoms like the need to urinate frequently, especially at night, Finasteride 1mg may be suitable for you.
