Product Description
Harifin-5 is Generic Finasteride/Propecia, manufactured by TO Chemicals, Harifin contains the same amount of drug (5mg) as Proscar by MSD but much cheaper. Harifin is a remedy for baldness in men with mild to moderate hair loss on the top of the head and the front of the mid-scalp area. It increases hair growth, improves hair regrowth, and slows down hair loss. Finasteride works only on scalp hair and does not affect hair on other parts of the body.
You may begin to see improvement as early as 3 months after you begin taking Propecia, but for many men it takes longer. The improvement lasts only as long as you take the drug; if you stop, new hair growth will cease and hair loss will resume.
Finasteride, Propecia is a specific type II 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. That is, it inhibits the enzyme responsible for regulating conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, Finasteride decreases DHT’s effects on the hair follicles, reversing the process of hair loss. Finasteride decreases DHT concentrations in the serum and the scalp by up to 70% and 60%, respectively.
