Drug Uses

Proscar is used alone or in combination with other medications to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH, enlargement of the prostate gland). Proscar improves symptoms of BPH such as frequent and difficult urination and may reduce the chance of acute urinary retention (suddenly being unable to pass urine). It also may decrease the chance of needing prostate surgery.

How Taken

Proscar comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day with or without a meal. Take Proscar at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Proscar exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time of the next dose, skip the Missed Dose and continue your usual dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.
