Healpecia 5 mg Tablet
Product Description
Healpecia 5 mg Tablet contains Finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor primarily used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in adult men. It works by reducing the levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone responsible for prostate enlargement and certain hair-related conditions.
