What is this medicine?

FINREST (Finasteride 5 mg) is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. This medicine is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in men where the prostate gland is enlarged, which can cause difficulty with urination. Finasteride works by lowering levels of a natural hormone (DHT), thereby shrinking the prostate and relieving symptoms such as difficulty in starting urination, weak stream, and frequent urination, especially at night.
