Medication Information: Proscar (Finasteride)

Uses of Proscar:

In adult men, Proscar is used to decrease an enlarged prostate (also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). It can be used alone or in combination with other medications to alleviate BPH symptoms and possibly avoid surgery. Proscar (Finasteride) may help with BPH symptoms by reducing the need to urinate, improving urine flow with less straining, reducing the sense that the bladder isn't empty, and reducing overnight urination.

This medication works by lowering the quantity of DHT, a natural body hormone that drives prostate growth. Proscar isn't approved for prostate cancer prevention. It may raise the risk of acquiring a very dangerous form of prostate cancer by a small amount.

Without your doctor's permission, do not begin, stop, or modify the dosage of any medications. The findings of a blood test used to identify prostate cancer may be influenced by this medicine (prostatic-specific antigen or PSA levels).

Proscar works by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing for increased blood flow, and reducing the urge to urinate. It does not affect urine production. It is not absorbed by the body. Proscar does not cause instant erections. Rather, it is an oral tablet that is taken by mouth. If you take this medication after a meal that does not contain fat, your body will need to absorb it. However, if you take it with a large meal, your body may not be able to break it in half, resulting in a larger DHT level that may be responsible for the BPH symptoms.Serious side effects, such as a lump in the breast, nipple discharge, breast enlargement/tenderness/pain, testicular pain, or inability to pee, have been reported during men taking Proscar.

Usual salt for use

Finasteride is for use by men only. Do not use if you:

• Take the medicine at the same time as your prostate specific antigen (PSA) test
• Have difficulty in measuring the prostate gland
• Have a condition which may require immediate medical attention
• Are allergic to this medication or any of the other ingredients of this tablet (sulphates, alcohol, dairy, antacids, monagogues, other medications)

Mechanism of action of Proscar

Finasteride inhibits the activity of an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into this product. This leads to the decreased levels of testosterone in the body.

The half-life of finasteride is usually about 6-8 hours. This means that it will be active in about 97% of men at some time during their treatment. Finasteride will not affect the activity of other drugs that act within this time frame, so it will not cause any unwanted side effects.

Furthermore, finasteride has been studied for its ability to reduce the risk of developing prostate cancer. It has been found that it is effective in preventing the development of this malignancy in men.

Only use this medication under the guidance and supervision of a healthcare professional.

What is Proscar?
