Medical Overview
Proscar is listed as Urology containing Finasteride. A medicine used according to its active ingredient, dosage form, and the patient’s condition.
Proscar (finasteride 5mg) shrinks the prostate itself (~20-25%) by blocking DHT — judged fairly at 6 months, preventing retention and surgery in larger glands; 1mg is Propecia for hair. Two famous rules: PSA halves (double readings for comparison; a rise from nadir is a red flag) and pregnant women must not handle broken tablets. Sexual effects in a pre-counseled minority.
