Proscar is a prescription medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia, commonly referred to as an enlarged prostate. It contains finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that works by lowering the levels of dihydrotestosterone, a hormone that causes the prostate to grow. By reducing hormone levels, Proscar helps to shrink the prostate, improve urinary flow, and relieve associated symptoms.
An enlarged prostate can lead to frequent urination, a weak stream, difficulty starting or stopping urination, and interrupted sleep due to nighttime urination. Proscar addresses these problems by gradually reducing prostate size and easing pressure on the urethra. This process often takes several months but can significantly improve comfort and quality of life over time.
Proscar is taken as a once-daily tablet and is typically prescribed for long-term use. It may be used alone or in combination with other medications, such as alpha-blockers for men with more severe symptoms. While some users experience mild side effects like reduced libido or changes in ejaculation, these effects are often temporary and diminish with continued use.
It’s important to note that Proscar lowers prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, which are measured during prostate cancer screening. Healthcare providers will take this into account when interpreting results.
