Medication Guide
About Finasteride
A reference for discussing finasteride with a licensed Canadian healthcare provider. Read the monograph for your specific product and speak with your provider about personal safety considerations.
01Finasteride product information
Finasteride is a prescription medicinal ingredient sold in Canada in products with different authorized uses, including products containing the same ingredient as Propecia®. Your healthcare provider determines whether a specific product is clinically appropriate.
02Using and storing your prescribed product
Follow your pharmacy label and the product-specific Canadian monograph. Different finasteride products may have different authorized uses and instructions; do not change how you take a medication without discussing it with your provider.
03Important safety and handling information
Finasteride product information includes warnings about sexual adverse effects and changes in mood, including depression and suicidal thoughts. Discuss any history of depression or mental-health concerns before treatment. Seek medical advice promptly for mood changes; seek urgent help if you have thoughts of self-harm.
People who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed finasteride tablets. Finasteride can alter prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test results, so tell the clinician interpreting your results if you take it.
04Generic finasteride, Propecia® and different products
Generic finasteride and Propecia® share finasteride as their active medicinal ingredient. Products may differ in strength, approved indication, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and appearance.
Do not substitute between products or strengths without prescriber and pharmacist review. Consult the Canadian product monograph for the product actually dispensed to you.
05What to discuss with your provider
Tell your healthcare provider about all medicines, supplements and allergies, any history of depression or self-harm thoughts, changes in sexual function, prostate concerns and recent or planned PSA tests. Discuss potential exposure of anyone who may become pregnant to broken tablets.

Finasteride FAQs
Answers about finasteride in Canada, prescription requirements, safety considerations, healthcare provider reviews, and pharmacy delivery.
Finasteride 101
What is finasteride in Canada?
Finasteride is a prescription medicinal ingredient used in several Canadian-authorized products. Products and strengths can have different indications, so read the monograph for your actual prescription.
Do I need a prescription for finasteride?
Yes. A licensed Canadian healthcare provider must assess your health information and determine whether a particular finasteride prescription is appropriate. An online assessment does not guarantee one.
Is generic finasteride the same active ingredient as Propecia®?
Both contain finasteride, but products may differ in their authorized use, strength, manufacturer and non-medicinal ingredients. Ask your pharmacist which specific product is dispensed.
Can finasteride affect PSA blood test results?
Yes. Finasteride can affect PSA test results. Tell the healthcare professional ordering or interpreting a PSA test that you are taking finasteride, even if the test is for another reason.
What mood-related warnings apply to finasteride?
Canadian product information warns about depressed mood, depression and suicidal thoughts. Tell your prescriber about mental-health concerns, report mood changes promptly, and seek urgent help if you have thoughts of self-harm.
Who should avoid handling broken finasteride tablets?
People who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken finasteride tablets because the medicinal ingredient may be absorbed through the skin. Ask your pharmacist about safe handling and storage.
Assessment & Delivery
Who reviews my Finasteride online assessment?
