Drug Uses
Proscar is used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH, enlargement of the prostate gland). Proscar improves symptoms of BPH such as frequent and difficult urination and can reduce the chance of acute urinary retention (suddenly being unable to pass urine). It also can decrease the chance of needing prostate surgery.
How Taken
Proscar comes as a pill to take orally. It is usually taken once a day with or without food intake. Use Proscar at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and check with your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you don't understand. Use Proscar exactly as prescribed. Don't take more or less of it or use it more often than directed by your doctor.
Additional Information
Keep all appointments with your physician. Before having any laboratory test, tell your physician and the laboratory personnel that you are taking Proscar. Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
