Finast T Capsule is primarily used to manage symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition affecting adult men. As a combination medication, it belongs to the class of medicines known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and alpha-blockers.

This medicine also helps in improving urinary symptoms like difficulty in initiating urination, weak urine stream, and the frequent need to urinate especially at night. It also manages issues related to feeling of incomplete bladder emptying and urgency to urinate.

To use this medicine effectively, it's important to follow your doctor’s instructions on the right dosage and frequency. Prior to starting Finast T Capsule, ensure your doctor knows about any ongoing medicines you’re taking or pre-existing conditions you have. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, inform your doctor promptly. Lastly, continue taking the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Finast T Capsule is used for the following:

Managing symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterised by an enlarged prostate.
Easing difficulty in initiating urination, a common problem faced by men with BPH.
Improving weak urine stream, another symptom associated with BPH.
Reducing the frequency of urination, especially during night time.
Alleviating the feeling of incomplete bladder emptying experienced by men suffering from BPH.
Decreasing the urgency to urinate often seen in patients with BPH.

Directions for Use of Finast T Capsule 30

Swallow the capsule whole with water, without crushing or chewing it.
Consume the medicine 30 minutes after the same meal each day for consistency.
Continue taking this medicine as advised by your doctor, even if your symptoms improve.
Always remember to consult your doctor for any specific instructions related to this medication.

Finast T Capsule is taken orally.

Finast T Capsule may have the following common side effects:

Decreased libido: This means a reduced desire for sexual activity.
Erectile dysfunction: This refers to the difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection.
Ejaculatory disorders: You might notice a decrease in the volume of semen during ejaculation.
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Headache
Runny or stuffy nose

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Finast T Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness or lightheadedness: Try taking your Finast T Capsule at night to manage this effect.
Headache: Taking this medication with food might help lessen this side effect.

Finast T Capsule works through its two active ingredients:

Finasteride (5 mg): This ingredient inhibits an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase in your body. This enzyme is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to BPH. By lowering DHT levels, finasteride aids in shrinking the enlarged prostate gradually.
Tamsulosin (0.4 mg): As an alpha-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist, tamsulosin binds to these receptors found in the smooth muscles of your prostate and bladder neck. This binding action causes these muscles to relax, improving urine flow and reducing BPH symptoms.

Pregnancy

Finast T Capsule is contraindicated during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, ensure to discuss this with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Finast T Capsule is contraindicated for breastfeeding women. It's essential to consult your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

While consuming alcohol during the course of Finast T Capsule, caution is advised. Excessive alcohol intake might amplify certain side effects. Your doctor will provide guidance based on your individual situation.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Finast T Capsule in case of moderate to severe liver impairment. If you have liver problems, discuss them with your doctor before starting this medicine.

Kidney

If you have a history of severe renal impairment, it's crucial to be cautious while using Finast T Capsule. A discussion with your doctor before starting this medicine would be advisable.

Using Machines & Driving

Taking Finast T Capsule may cause dizziness or lightheadedness. If you experience these symptoms, avoid driving and operating heavy machinery until they subside.

Allergy

If you are known to have hypersensitivity towards finasteride or tamsulosin, do not take Finast T Capsule. Your doctor will suggest an alternative course of therapy if necessary.

Children

Finast T Capsule is contraindicated for use in children under 18 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Finast T Capsule under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age because older individuals might also have liver and kidney issues and might be on other medication. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Over Dose

If you accidentally take more Finast T Capsule than prescribed, you might feel dizzy or lightheaded. In such a situation, it's best to inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Finast T Capsule, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue with your usual schedule. Don't increase the dosage without speaking to your doctor.

Store Finast T Capsule in a dry and cool place, at a temperature below 30°C.
Ensure it's kept away from direct light and moisture.
Always keep this medicine out of reach of children.
Check the expiry date before use and never consume it past this date.

If you're using Finast T Capsule for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, consider reducing your intake of caffeine and alcohol. These substances stimulate the bladder, increasing the frequency of urination.
Alongside your medication, regular exercise can help improve the symptoms of BPH. Try incorporating low-impact activities such as walking or swimming into your daily routine. As always, consult your doctor before starting any new exercise programme.
