Finasteride brand name?

What brand names are used for finasteride?

Finasteride is sold under several brand names, most commonly:

- Propecia (for hair loss, typically male pattern hair loss)
- Proscar (for an enlarged prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia/BPH)

Are Propecia and Proscar the same drug?

Yes. Propecia and Proscar both contain finasteride; the difference is usually the approved indication (hair loss vs. BPH) and the strength/dosing regimen used for that purpose.

What if you’re looking for the exact brand in a specific country?

Brand names can vary by country and by dose form. If you share your country (or the tablet strength, such as 1 mg or 5 mg), I can help narrow down the likely brand name(s) for that market.
