DescriptionWhat is Finasteride?Finasteride is an oral medication primarily used to treat hypogonadism (low sex drive) in men. It is believed to work by blocking the effects of gonadotropin hormones, which have a role in producing and maintaining an hypothalamic-pituitary-tissue relationship called the testicular axis. These hormones play a role in stimulating the Leydig ( LePhe) cells in the testes to produce energy and promote testosterone production. These hormones also act on the Leydig cells to produce sex drive. Finasteride has been shown to increase testosterone levels in men with hypogonadism and in a small number of men taking other medications to treat hypogonadism.

Finasteride is also used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream and dribbling urine, and to treat symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
