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.

How to use Proscar?

• Take this medication by mouth once a day, with or without food, as instructed by your doctor.
• A pregnant woman or a woman who may become pregnant should not handle the tablet if it has been crushed or broken.
• To receive the best benefit from this medication, take it daily. It's important to remember to use it at the same time every day.
• It could take 6 to 12 months for you to observe a difference. If your illness does not improve or worsen, contact your doctor.

Side Effects of Proscar:

• You may lose your sexual ability or desire. This medicine may reduce the volume of semen released during intercourse in certain men.
• Proscar may also help you develop more hair.
• Serious side effects include such as a lump in your breast, nipple discharge, breast enlargement/tenderness/pain, testicular pain, or inability to pee.
• If you detect any symptoms of a major allergic response, such as a rash, itching/swelling (particularly of the face/tongue/throat), extreme dizziness, or problems breathing, seek medical treatment right away.

Proscar Precautions:

• If you are allergic to finasteride or have any other allergies, notify your doctor or pharmacist before taking it. Inactive chemicals may be included in this product, causing allergic reactions or other issues. For further information, speak with your pharmacist.
• Tell your doctor or pharmacist about your medical history, especially if you have liver disease, prostate cancer, infections, or urinary issues, before using this medication.
• Through the skin, the medicine can be absorbed. A woman who is pregnant or trying to become pregnant should not touch a tablet if the film coating has been damaged or the tablet has been crushed. Proscar exposure in a developing male child can cause genital malformations.
• Proscar should not be used by women, especially if they are pregnant or nursing. It has the potential to harm an unborn or nursing baby. If you have any questions regarding this medication, talk to your doctor.

Storage:

• Store at below 30-35 degrees C (86- 95 degrees F).
• Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat.
• Keep out of children's reach.

Proscar Drug interactions:

Keep a list of everything you use (including prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals, as well as herbal products) and discuss it with your doctor and pharmacist. 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).

Should you purchase this medication, check in with your doctor, then, if you can, discuss where to find treatment online. If you are in the UK or elsewhere, you will require a prescription by your doctor to purchase this medication.

Shipping Information:

This medication is available only with a doctor's prescription.

What is finasteride? Proscar, known as an oral tablet to treat benign conditions, is the medication produced by the penis. It is a prescription-only oral tablet that is taken once a day. It is taken to treat benign conditions in men, such as BPH, by adult men. Proscar (Finasteride) is available in tablet form and at a dose of 30 mg and 60 mg. Women, especially those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, should use Proscar (Finasteride) strictly as directed by a doctor.

Last week, the FDA announced that it had approved a new drug for treating male pattern baldness. Merck’s drug Propecia, which is a generic version of Proscar, has been approved by the FDA for treatment of male pattern baldness.

But while Merck has yet to meet the FDA’s expectations, a new study has concluded that the drug works well enough to reverse hair loss.

The study, published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, is part of a larger clinical trial that looked at Merck’s drug Finasteride. The study was published in the journal,JAMA Dermatology. Finasteride is an inhibitor of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The results of the trial, published in the journal, indicated that finasteride reduced the density and diameter of hair loss in men with male pattern baldness. This hair loss was more common in men who had tried finasteride before and in men who had never tried it before.

The study also indicated that the drug’s ability to reverse male pattern hair loss, when used as a treatment for hair loss, is still in its early stages. The new study does not definitively establish whether finasteride will work as well as Propecia or Proscar, but it is likely to do so in the long term.

The results suggest that Propecia could potentially help some men who have male pattern baldness who have not tried finasteride before. This is the same group of men who have tried Propecia before. However, the study did not find that Proscar or finasteride had a significant effect on hair loss in those men who have been treated with finasteride.

While the findings are encouraging, it is important to note that the drugs have been used to treat the same condition as Propecia, and that the results of these studies have been mixed. The FDA has already decided to approve several other drugs for the treatment of hair loss, including finasteride, finasteride and minoxidil, among others.
