Proscar 5mg Tablets (Finasteride)

Proscar 5mg is a trusted medication used by men to treat an enlarged prostate, also known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). The active ingredient, Finasteride, works by lowering the levels of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Reducing DHT helps to shrink the prostate gland, making it easier to pass urine.

If you are experiencing a weak urine stream, frequent trips to the toilet at night, or difficulty starting to urinate, Proscar 5mg can provide relief. By managing the size of the prostate, this medication also reduces the risk of sudden urinary blockage and the need for surgery.

How to Take Proscar 5mg

For the best results, take one tablet daily as directed by your doctor. You can take it with or without food. It is important to take Proscar consistently at the same time each day.

Please note that it may take several months to feel the full benefits of this treatment. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your pharmacist or doctor, even if you feel better.

Safety and Precautions

Proscar is for use by adult men only. Women and children must not take this medication.

Important Warning for Women: Pregnant women should avoid handling crushed or broken Proscar tablets. The active ingredient can be absorbed through the skin and may cause birth defects in a male baby. If a pregnant woman comes into contact with the medication, she should wash the area with soap and water immediately.

• Decreased interest in sex (libido)
