1. What is finasteride cinfa and what is it used for
Finasteride cinfa contains the active ingredient finasteride.
Finasteride cinfa is for use in men only.
Finasteride is used to treat male pattern hair loss (also known as androgenetic alopecia) in men aged 18 to 41 years. If you have any questions about male pattern hair loss after reading this package leaflet, consult your doctor.
Male pattern hair loss is a common disorder that is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic factors and a particular hormone, called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT contributes to shortening the hair growth phase and making the hair thinner.
In the scalp, finasteride specifically reduces DHT levels by blocking an enzyme (Type II 5-alpha-reductase) that converts testosterone to DHT. Only men with mild to moderate hair loss, but not complete hair loss, can expect a benefit from using finasteride. In many men treated with finasteride for 5 years, the progression of hair loss slowed down, and in at least half of these men, hair growth also improved to some extent.
2. What you need to know before taking finasteride cinfa
Do not take finasteride cinfa
- If you are a woman (because this medication is for men, see section Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility). Clinical trials have shown that finasteride is not effective in women with hair loss.
- If you are allergic to finasteride or any of the other ingredients of this medication (listed in section 6).
Warnings and precautions
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take finasteride cinfa.
Effects on Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Finasteride may affect a blood test called PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) for detecting prostate cancer. If you have had a PSA test, you should inform your doctor or pharmacist that you are taking finasteride, as it decreases PSA levels.
Effects on fertility
Infertility has been reported in men who took finasteride for a long time and had other risk factors that could affect fertility. Normalization or improvement of semen quality has been reported after discontinuing finasteride treatment. No long-term clinical studies have been conducted on the effect of finasteride on male fertility.
Breast cancer
See section 4.
Mood changes and depression
Mood changes, such as depressed mood, depression, and, less frequently, suicidal thoughts have been reported in patients treated with finasteride cinfa 1 mg. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop taking finasteride cinfa 1 mg and consult your doctor as soon as possible.
Children and adolescents
Finasteride should not be used in children. There are no data to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of finasteride in children under 18 years of age.
Other medications and finasteride cinfa
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or may take any other medication.
Taking finasteride cinfa with food and drinks
Finasteride can be taken with or without food.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and fertility
Finasteride is intended for the treatment of male pattern hair loss in men only. For effects on fertility in men, see section 2.
- Women should not use finasteride due to the risk of pregnancy.
- Pregnant women should not handle crushed or broken finasteride tablets.
- If a pregnant woman with a male fetus absorbs the active ingredient of finasteride after ingesting it orally or through the skin, her son may be born with genital anomalies.
- If a pregnant woman comes into contact with the active ingredient of finasteride, she should consult a doctor.
- The finasteride tablets are film-coated to prevent contact with the active ingredient during normal handling.
In case of doubt, ask your doctor.

If you stop taking finasteride cinfa
To appreciate the effect, it may be necessary to take the medication for 3 to 6 months. It is essential that you try to take finasteride for the entire time indicated by your doctor.
