Finasteride 5mg

General Information About Finasteride 5mg

Finasteride 5mg is sold under the brand name Proscar and is used in treatments of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). The drug works by inhibiting the type II 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The same medication in 1mg dose is used to treat hair loss in men, caused by male pattern baldness, and is sold as Propecia.

Finasteride 5mg is prescribed to men only and should not be given to women or children! Women, who are or trying to become pregnant should not handle broken or crushed tablets since this can cause damage to their unborn babies.

Men, who are allergic to Finasteride or any of the inactive ingredients (see the leaflet) should seek an alternative treatment. If your doctor wants to run a Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) test, inform him that you are taking Finasteride 5mg since the medication reduces the PSA levels.

Finasteride 5mg is well received by most men and studies have shown that less than 2% of all treated patients discontinue their treatments due to side effects.

Other adverse reactions are possible too, but rare.

Customers reviews for Finasteride 5 mg:

- I have been taking Proscar for close to three years now and have been going for my checkups regularly. The treatment is going well, my prostate shrank about 20%, and most of the symptoms are long gone;

- After three years on Proscar, I began buying generic Finasteride 5mg off the Internet and this has made quite a bit of a difference – I pay about 30% less and I don’t have to take long drives to the drugstore to get my meds, they simply arrive by mail;

- Talking about two birds with one stone – I began taking Finasteride 5mg for BPH about two and a half years ago and the medication not only helped my prostate problems, but my hair grew thicker too;

- I started having a very weak urination sometime last year and at first, I thought that it was an infection, but it turned out that it was enlarge prostate. Of course, I was relieved that it wasn’t something even more serious, but had to start a treatment ASAP since urinating became increasingly harder. Began my treatment with Finasteride 5mg about seven months ago and even though I saw the initial improvement only five months later, things are better now, and I am hoping for greater improvement shortly;

- After being diagnosed with BHP, my biggest fear was that I would have to undergo surgery, but my doctor put me on Proscar and the pills did the trick. A few months after I started taking them, he noticed my prostate shrinking, and a few more months down the road, all the symptoms are gone almost completely. I realize that taking the drug is for life, but I certainly don’t mind swallowing a small pill every morning, as long as I keep getting better;
