PROSCAR is a prescription medication primarily used to treat the symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. It helps improve urinary flow and may also reduce the need for prostate surgery later on. The active ingredient in PROSCAR is finasteride, which works by decreasing the amount of a natural body hormone (DHT) that causes growth of the prostate.
PROSCAR works by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. DHT is a hormone that can cause the prostate to grow larger. By reducing DHT levels, PROSCAR helps to shrink the enlarged prostate, leading to improved urinary flow and decreased symptoms of BPH.
PROSCAR is intended for use by men who have been diagnosed with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if PROSCAR is the right medication for your condition. It is not approved for use in women or children.
Like all medications, PROSCAR may cause side effects. Common side effects include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and ejaculation disorders. If you experience any severe side effects or signs of an allergic reaction, such as rash, itching/swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing, seek medical attention immediately.
PROSCAR should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Consistency is key, so try to take it at the same time each day. Do not stop taking PROSCAR without consulting your healthcare provider, even if you do not notice an immediate improvement in your symptoms.
Before starting PROSCAR, inform your healthcare provider about all other medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Some drugs may interact with PROSCAR, affecting how it works or increasing the risk of side effects.
