Proscar

You should take one Proscar 5mg tablet once a day, with or without food. It's important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage. Proscar may take several months to show its full effect. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. In case of any concerns or questions about your dosage, consult your healthcare provider.

Each Proscar tablet contains 5mg of finasteride as the active ingredient. The excipients include lactose monohydrate, pregelatinized starch, sodium starch glycolate, iron oxide red, and magnesium stearate.

Common side effects of Proscar may include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and decreased volume of ejaculate. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include allergic reactions like rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing. If you experience any of these symptoms, seek medical help promptly.

Do not use Proscar if you are allergic to finasteride or any other ingredients in the product. Women, especially pregnant ones, should avoid handling crushed or broken tablets due to the risk of absorption. If you have liver disease or are taking medications like alpha-blockers, discuss with your doctor before using Proscar. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about your medical history and current medications to avoid any potential interactions or complications.
