Indication
Proscar is used for treating urinary problems caused by an enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). It is also used to lower the risk of needing surgery to treat BPH. It may be used with another medicine (doxazosin) to lower the risk of worsening BPH. Proscar is a type of steroid reductase inhibitor. It works by reducing the amount of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. This makes the prostate gland smaller, which helps to relieve urinary problems.
 
Instruction
Use Proscar as directed by your doctor.

• Take Proscar by mouth with or without food.
• Continue to take Proscar even if you feel well. Do not miss any dose.
• Using Proscar at the same time each day will help you remember to take it.
• If you miss a dose of Proscar, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once
