Xtin Plus Tablet should not be used in women (especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding), children, or anyone with known allergies to finasteride, biotin, or any ingredient present in Xtin Plus Tablet.

What precautions should I take before starting Xtin Plus Tablet?

Before starting Xtin Plus Tablet, tell your doctor if you have a history of liver problems, prostate cancer, or allergic reactions to medications. Because finasteride can influence prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results, let your doctor know you are taking it before having any lab tests.

Are there any serious side effects of Xtin Plus Tablet to watch for?
