Proscar Uses This medication is used to shrink the size of the prostate gland in men (for benign prostatic hyperplasia). It reduces urinary blockage and improves urine flow. Notes Although early improvement is often times seen, at least 6 to 12 months of therapy may be necessary in some patients to assess whether or not a beneficial response has occurred. Therefore, it is important to keep regular doctor appointments and get blood tests as scheduled to ascertain the effectiveness of the medication. Many men are born with the condition this drug mimics (smaller than usual prostate glands) and lead normal lives with normal sex drives.
