Finasteride 5mg price in Malaysia
5mg is the strength registered in Malaysia for a benign enlarged prostate. These are the current prices for the two 30 tablet packs offered on this page.
RM1 doctor consultation, no separate prescription fee
Dispensed by a licensed Malaysian pharmacy partner
The prostate sits below the bladder and surrounds the urethra. With age it commonly enlarges without being cancerous, a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia. As the gland grows it narrows the passage urine travels through, which is why the stream weakens and the bladder feels less than empty.
Finasteride 5mg reduces the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, the hormone that drives that growth. Prostate volume changes slowly, so this is a daily tablet reviewed over months, taken for as long as your doctor advises.
5mg is the strength registered in Malaysia for this use. Finanitas and Proscar are the two 5mg products offered here.
Symptoms men describe
A weaker or slower urine stream
Hesitancy before the flow starts
Dribbling once you have finished
A sense that the bladder is not fully empty
Waking at night to pass urine
Blood in the urine, pain, fever or an inability to pass urine needs urgent medical attention, not an online order.
Finanitas 5mg or Proscar 5mg
Proscar is the originator brand and Finanitas is a generic. Both supply 5mg of finasteride per tablet in a 30 tablet pack, so for most men the practical difference is cost per tablet.

I trust Hello Doktor more compared to some other platforms I tried before. Previously the other platform i use the doctor was quite rude and delivery also took so long like 2 week plus, but here totally different. Doctor very friendly and professional, explain properly and the service super fast. Delivery also came much quicker within 2 hours. Hope Hello Doktor can maintain this excellent standard 👍

Honestly so impressed with HelloDoctor! I uploaded the prescription I got from Dr. Brian, and the whole process was incredibly smooth, safe, and just super fast. I couldn’t believe it when my order arrived at my doorstep in just 2 hours. The packaging was neat and discreet, and the medicine was exactly what I needed. It saves so much time compared to queuing at a pharmacy. Will definitely be using them again!

My experience with Hello Doktor has been really positive and life changing. I’ve struggled with my heavy weight for years and tried different things, I’ve lost around 8kg so far, which I honestly didn’t expect..
doctors and whatsapp people have been supportive and easy to reach whenever I have questions. Still have more to go, but overall I feel much better and more lighter.

PSA testing while on finasteride 5mg
Tell every doctor who orders a PSA test
Finasteride roughly halves PSA readings. A result that looks normal on paper may not be normal for a man taking this medicine, which can delay checks that would otherwise have been arranged. Say that you take finasteride 5mg whenever a PSA test is ordered, so the reading is interpreted against the right baseline.
This medicine is registered for benign, non cancerous enlargement. It does not treat prostate cancer and does not replace the checks your doctor recommends for your age.
Reported side effects
Most men do not experience these. Tell your doctor if any of them appear or persist.
Reduced libido
Erectile difficulty
Reduced volume of ejaculate
Breast tenderness or enlargement
Rash or itching
Low mood or changes in mood
Stop and seek medical attention if
You cannot pass urine at all, or you see blood in your urine
You develop swelling of the lips, tongue, face or throat, or difficulty breathing
You notice a lump in the breast, breast pain, or discharge from the nipple
You develop a severe rash or peeling skin
Who should not take finasteride 5mg

Anyone with liver problems, without specific medical advice
Bring a full list of your medicines to the consultation, including anything you already take for urinary symptoms or blood pressure.
How symptoms are reviewed over time
Prostate volume changes gradually, so this treatment is assessed across months. The points below are a general guide, not a promise. Individual results vary.
Month 1
Getting established
You build the daily habit and note how your urinary symptoms sit day to day.
Months 3 to 4
First review
Your doctor checks tolerance and whether the symptoms that bothered you have shifted.
Months 6 to 12
Judging the effect
This is usually the point at which any change in flow and night time waking is assessed.
Beyond 12 months
Ongoing care
Treatment continues only while it suits you, with reviews and PSA interpretation kept in mind.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH, is a non cancerous enlargement of the prostate gland that becomes more common with age. As the gland grows it can press on the urethra and change the way you pass urine.
FINANITAS AND PROSCAR
Proscar is the originator brand and Finanitas is a generic. Both supply 5mg of finasteride per tablet in 30 tablet packs and both are registered products, so the practical difference for most men is cost per tablet.
TAKING IT DAY TO DAY
One 5mg tablet once daily, swallowed whole with water, with or without food. Keep to roughly the same time each day.
PSA TESTING AND SAFETY
Yes, and this matters more at this strength. It roughly halves PSA readings, which can hide a result that would otherwise prompt further checks. Always tell any doctor arranging a PSA test that you take finasteride 5mg so the reading can be interpreted correctly.
Prostate health reading
