Proscar (finasteride)
Proscar (Finasteride) belongs to a group of medications known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Proscar is used for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.
Proscar improves the symptoms associated with BPH such as:
- difficulty urinating
- getting up to urinate during the night
- hesitation at the start of urination
- decreased urine flow
It may take six months or more to see the full effects of Proscar. Proscar reduces the likelihood of prostate surgery for men with BPH. Proscar must be taken on a regular basis to be effective. If the medication is stopped, the prostate will start to grow again.
