Finast has an anti-anthropogenic effect and affects metabolic processes inside prostate tissues.
The effect of finasteride is based on the inhibition of the therapeutic activity of the enzyme 5-α-reductase. As a result, testosterone is prevented from being converted into an androgenic type hormone - 5-dihydrotesterone. The values of this androgen are reduced both inside the blood and inside the prostate, and therefore the growth of the tissues of this gland is prevented.
Therapy reduces the size of the prostate and reduces the intensity of the symptoms of the disease.
