Uses and warnings
Key warnings include: - PROSCAR reduces PSA levels by approximately 50%, though any confirmed PSA increase while taking it may signal prostate cancer and warrants evaluation - Men aged 55+ taking finasteride showed increased high-grade prostate cancer risk (1.8% vs 1.1% placebo) - Pregnant females or those potentially pregnant must not handle crushed/broken tablets due to risk of abnormal male fetal genitalia development - Not indicated for pediatric patients or females - Physicians should evaluate other urological conditions before initiating treatment
PROSCAR is indicated for treating symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with enlarged prostates to "improve symptoms," "reduce the risk of acute urinary retention," and "reduce the risk of the need for surgery including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and prostatectomy." When combined with doxazosin, it reduces symptomatic BPH progression risk. The drug is not approved for prostate cancer prevention.
