Where to Buy Proscar Online — telemedicine evaluation & patient education
Introduction to Proscar
Proscar (finasteride 5 mg) is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that affects urinary function in aging men. BPH causes urinary hesitancy, weak stream, increased nighttime urination, bladder pressure, and incomplete emptying. Proscar reduces prostate size by lowering DHT levels, which contribute to prostate enlargement. Unlike medications that relax muscles temporarily, Proscar creates a long-term structural improvement.
How Proscar Works
Proscar inhibits the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into DHT. Lower DHT levels shrink prostate tissue gradually, improving urinary flow and reducing symptoms. Clinical studies show that Proscar reduces prostate volume by up to 25% after six months of consistent use. It also reduces the risk of urinary retention and the need for surgical intervention.
Dosage & Administration
Proscar is taken once daily. Because prostate reduction takes time, patients typically need 3–6 months before experiencing improvement. For maximum benefit, long-term use is required. Proscar may be used alone or combined with alpha-blockers for faster symptom relief.
Side Effects & Risks
Side effects mirror those of Propecia but may occur slightly more often due to higher dosage: sexual side effects, decreased libido, erectile difficulty, or breast sensitization. Rare events include allergic reactions or mood changes. Women should avoid contact with broken tablets.
Benefits
Proscar significantly improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, prevents disease progression, and decreases the likelihood of surgery. It is especially valuable for men with very large prostates.
Monitoring & Long-Term Use
Regular prostate exams and PSA monitoring are essential. Lifestyle changes — limiting caffeine, avoiding late-night fluids, and reducing alcohol — complement treatment.
