RefreshFinasteride is used to treat men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and male pattern hair loss, also called androgenetic alopecia. BPH is caused by an enlarged prostate. Men with BPH usually have difficulty urinating, a decreased flow of urination, hesitation at the beginning of urination, and a need to get up at night to urinate. Finasteride will make these symptoms less severe and reduce the chance that prostate surgery will be needed. It may be used alone or in combination with other medicines such as an alpha-blocker to treat BPH. For men with hair loss, finasteride will increase the number of scalp hairs but will not increase the amount of body hair.
Finasteride blocks the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. This enzyme changes testosterone to another hormone that causes the prostate to grow or hair loss in males. It will increase testosterone levels in the body, which decreases prostate size and increases hair growth on the scalp. The effect of finasteride on the prostate and scalp will only last as long as the medicine is taken. When it is stopped, the prostate begins to grow again and the hair will be lost.

This is a sample of participants from the population-based cohort study of finasteride-naïve men with prostate cancer treated at UHS.
Data for this study are based on data from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT).
The PCPT is a major clinical trial (CT) program (the National Cancer Institute) that enrolled 5366 men with prostate cancer who were treated with daily oral finasteride. Participants received a daily oral dose of finasteride 1 mg or 5 mg. The median age of the participants was 63 years.
Participants were randomized to receive a daily dose of 1 mg of finasteride or 5 mg of finasteride per day for five years. The median time to first treatment with finasteride was 2 years.
Prostate biopsies were collected from participants at each study visit and were performed at baseline, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 months. The primary outcome measure of interest was the change from baseline to 12 months. The primary outcome measure in the PCPT was prostate volume at baseline, as assessed by a prostate volume analyzer (U. S.

Generic Proscar is a prescription medication used to treat male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) in men. It works by blocking the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes hair loss. By reducing DHT levels, Proscar can prevent further hair loss and promote regrowth. It is available in tablet form and is taken orally, usually once a day. The medication is taken once daily, with or without food. It should be taken once daily in the morning and late afternoon or evening to promote maximum absorption. However, taking the medication with food can decrease its effectiveness. It's important to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider, including the time and frequency of use. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, but if it's almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed dose. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication, including Proscar.
How to Use:Take Proscar as directed by your healthcare provider. It is available in the form of tablets or as a liquid suspension. It should be taken once daily, with or without food. Take the medication exactly as directed. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication without consulting your healthcare provider. Do not take more than the prescribed dose to make up for the missed dose.
Side Effects:Common side effects of Proscar include hot flashes, joint pain, and reduced sex drive. These side effects are usually mild and resolve on their own. However, if these side effects persist or become bothersome, contact your healthcare provider. If you notice any unusual symptoms or have any concerns about the use of Proscar, please consult your healthcare provider for further assistance. If you experience any allergic reactions or allergic symptoms, please inform your healthcare provider of your medical history. If you experience any severe side effects, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, seek medical attention immediately. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of any medical conditions you have, such as prostate cancer, hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, or any medications you are currently taking before starting treatment with Proscar. If you are taking Proscar or have taken other medications, such as dutasteride, do not stop taking Proscar without consulting your healthcare provider first.
Warning:This medication may cause an allergic reaction, which may include difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
