    This study aimed to compare the bioequivalence of a single 10-mg dose of finasteride 5-mg oral disintegrating tablets and standard tablets in healthy adult male Han Chinese volunteers. The study found that both formulations were bioequivalent in terms of the rate and extent of absorption, but there was a significant difference in Tmax between the two formulations. The study concluded that the oral disintegrating tablets of finasteride 5-mg and standard tablets were bioequivalent in healthy adult male Han Chinese volunteers.
