Application:
What is this medicine used forPROSCAR (Finasteride), a synthetic 4-azasteroid compound, is a specific
inhibitor of steroid Type II 5-reductase, an intracellular enzyme that converts
the androgen testosterone into 5 -dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Finasteride is
4-azaandrost-1-ene-17-carboxamide, N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-,(5 ,17 )-. The
empirical formula of finasteride is C23H36N2O2 and its molecular weight is
372.55. Finasteride is a white crystalline powder with a melting point near
250°C. It is freely soluble in chloroform and in lower alcohol solvents, but is
practically insoluble in water. PROSCAR (Finasteride) tablets for oral
administration are film-coated tablets that contain 5 mg of finasteride and the
following inactive ingredients: hydrous lactose, microcrystalline cellulose,
pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, hydroxypropyl cellulose LF,
