Patient summary
Proscar contains finasteride in a film-coated tablet for benign prostatic enlargement. It reduces DHT formation and acts gradually on prostate size and urinary symptoms.
Mechanism of action
Finasteride inhibits type II 5-alpha-reductase, reducing conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Lower DHT levels can reduce an enlarged prostate and improve urinary symptoms over time.
Onset time
Improvement is gradual; at least six months may be needed to assess the response.
Storage instructions
Follow the storage instructions on the pack; keep out of the sight and reach of children.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Contraindicated in pregnancy because of risk to a male fetus. Not indicated for women; pregnant people must avoid contact with crushed or broken tablets. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
