Description
Proscar is a medication classified as a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. It is administered as an oral tablet and is available by prescription only. Patients are advised that Proscar may cause a decrease in libido and should not be used by women who are or may become pregnant due to the risk of fetal harm.
Interactions
- Alpha-adrenergic antagonists: Co-administration may increase the risk of hypotension. Patients should be monitored for signs of low blood pressure.
- Other 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors: Concurrent use is not recommended due to potential additive effects on reducing prostate volume.
- Hepatic impairment: Patients with liver disease may have altered metabolism of finasteride, necessitating careful monitoring.
- Food: Finasteride can be taken with or without food; however, high-fat meals may affect the absorption rate.
