Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.





Androfin contains finasteride . Finasteride is synthetic drug for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern baldness (MPB). It is a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor. 5α-reductase is an enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT-more potent androgen),active form of testosterone i.e. male sex hormone .
Side effects are mainly sexual e.g .decreased libido, erectile dysfunction,ejaculation disorder.Also there is an increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer. You need to take doctor's advice before taking this drug.
