Identifying a Drug

[Gardenia]

The drug sounds like fenesteride. The dosage is 5 mg. I am unable to find the spelling. Would you be willing to help me? Thank you.

I think the drug is spelt "finasteride". It's a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor which inhibits the enzyme that produces DHT from Testosterone, which rise is known to cause Benign Prostate Hyperplasia in men.
