FINASTERIDE

5mg x 30 tablets (Finastir)

FINASTERIDE BASIC INFORMATION
Due to its chemical properties, Finasteride has almost no effect on the levels of other hormones in the body. The active agent does not bind to androgen receptors and produces no estrogenic, androgenic, antiandrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects. It does not affect the concentration of cortisol, hormones that stimulate the thyroid gland function, or thyroxine. The increase in the concentration of FSH and LH is insignificant and the drug does not affect the functioning of the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis. In extremely rare cases a decrease in the concentration of dihydrotestosterone results in disturbed sexual functions.

Finasteride is characterized by increases in the concentration of natural testosterone by 15%.
Finasteride is very popular among athletes that use steroids. Dihydrotestosterone metabolites can produce many adverse androgenic reactions caused by the use of testosterone. A high concentration of dihydrotestosterone in the body may lead to various unpleasant phenomena, e.g. oily skin, hair loss, acne and others. By suppressing the production of dihydrotestotosterone, it becomes possible to stabilize the concentration of natural male sex hormone and eliminate side reactions caused by the use of potent androgens.
The positive effects of Finasteride include its ability to:

• suppress high concentration of dihydrotestosterone in the blood;
• eliminate androgenic adverse reactions like oily skin, which leads to acne, excessive hair growth throughout the body, hair loss and other symptoms;
• increase endogenous testosterone levels in the body.

Finasteride is most effective in combating hair loss. Acneiform rashes, hair growth throughout the body and on the face can not be eliminated with the same efficiency, but a decrease in the dihydrotestosterone concentration provides a beneficial effect on the suppression of such reactions. The drug is especially recommended for athletes that experience baldness, as this can further turn into a severe problem or even become irreversible.

Using Finasteride to eliminate androgenetic alopecia (hair loss) is necessary for men only. The drug slows down future hair loss and guarantees about 30% improvement of the state of hair follicles and the formation of new ones after six months of therapy.
Finasteride cannot be used for post-cycle therapy. It’s often used during an androgenic steroids cycle that has resulted in adverse reactions in the form of baldness and others. It is not advisable to use the drug after the cycle.
