    Finasteride works by inhibiting the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This lowers DHT levels in the body, which can help with conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia and male pattern baldness. References are provided on post-finasteride syndrome, the mechanism of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, and a study on finasteride's effects on protein homeostasis in rat skeletal muscle.

    Dutasteride is a chemical compound that bears resemblance to finasteride.


    Significantly, it effectively suppresses all three variants of the alpha-reductase
