For men suffering from an enlarged prostate, Proscar 5mg tablets offer a convenient and effective solution. Proscar tablets contain finasteride, a medicine that belongs to a group of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. These inhibitors work by shrinking the prostate gland, relieving the symptoms of BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).
With Proscar tablets, men can enjoy shrinkage of the prostate gland within weeks, with maximum effect achieved after six months of treatment. This relief from prostate enlargement can lead to improved urinary function and a better quality of life. So don’t suffer in silence – talk to your doctor about Proscar tablets today.
What is BPH?
If you have BPH it means that your prostate gland is swollen. It can press on the tube that urine passes through, on its way out of your body.
This can lead to problems such as:
feeling like you need to pass urine more often, especially at night
feeling that you must pass urine right away
finding it difficult to start passing urine
when you pass urine the flow of urine is weak
when you pass urine the flow stops and starts
feeling that you cannot empty your bladder completely
In some men, BPH can lead to more serious problems, such as:
urinary tract infections
a sudden inability to pass urine
the need for surgery
What else should you know about BPH?
BPH is not cancer and does not lead to cancer, but the two conditions can be present at the same time.
Before you start Proscar, your doctor will do some simple tests to check whether you have prostate cancer.
Talk to your doctor if you have any questions about this.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Proscar if:
your partner is pregnant or planning to become pregnant. You should use a condom or other barrier method of contraception when taking Proscar. This is because your semen could contain a tiny amount of the drug and may affect the normal development of the baby’s sex organs.
you are going to have a blood test called PSA. This is because Proscar can affect the results of this test.
If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Proscar.
Mood alterations and depression
Mood alterations such as depressed mood, depression and, less frequently, suicidal thoughts have been reported in patients treated with Proscar. If you experience any of these symptoms contact your doctor for further medical advice as soon as possible.
Children

Pregnancy and breast feeding
Proscar should not be taken by women.
Do not touch crushed or broken Proscar tablets if you are a woman who is pregnant or planning to become pregnant (whole tablets are coated to stop contact with the medicine during normal use). This is because this medicine may affect the normal development of the baby’s sex organs.
If a woman who is pregnant comes into contact with crushed or broken Proscar tablets, speak to your doctor.

What else should you know about Proscar?

The number of men who developed prostate cancer was lower in men taking finasteride compared with those taking nothing.
The number of men who had a high score in a tumour grading system was higher in some of those taking finasteride compared to those taking nothing.
