How does Finasteride (Generic Propecia) treat?
Finasteride (Generic Propecia) tablets contain the active ingredient finasteride, which is a type of medicine called a type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
Finasteride (Generic Propecia) works by inhibiting the action of a compound in the body called type II 5-alpha reductase.
