Finasteride works by blocking the conversion of the hormone testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in the prostate. It does this by blocking an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Dihydrotestosterone is partly responsible for making the prostate enlarge. Therefore a reduced amount of dihydrotestosterone in the prostate causes it to shrink. This helps you to pass urine more easily.
Finasteride may cause harm to an unborn male baby. Because of this, women who are pregnant (or who may become pregnant) should not handle these tablets, especially if the coating is damaged. Also, small amounts of finasteride will be in your semen while you are taking this medicine, and it is therefore recommended that you use a barrier method of contraception (such as a condom) if your partner could become pregnant. If you need further advice about this, speak with you pharmacist or doctor.
