Finasteride
This medication works by blocking an enzyme that converts testosterone into a more potent hormone called dihydrotestosterone, which drives prostate growth and male-pattern hair loss. It is used to shrink an enlarged prostate and relieve urinary symptoms, as well as to treat male hair loss.

Finasteride and tamsulosin are deliberately combined (as Duodart/Jalyn) for BPH treatment; the combination provides additive symptom relief with no significant adverse pharmacokinetic interaction.
Fluconazole inhibits CYP3A4, which contributes to finasteride metabolism; co-administration may modestly increase finasteride plasma concentrations, though the clinical significance is generally low.
No clinically significant pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic interaction is established between doxycycline and finasteride; they are occasionally co-prescribed in patients with androgenetic alopecia and concomitant infections.
