Safety and public health. In the past few months, there has been an increase in the use of medications such as finasteride (Proscar®) for the treatment of BPH, especially for men over the age of 40.Over the past decade, a decreased rate of prostate cancer has been reported in men taking finasteride. It's unclear how common this condition is, as well as its impact on sexual function and ability to have an erection, among men taking finasteride. It's important for men to discuss potential BPH symptoms and BPH treatment with their healthcare provider.
There are no proper warnings or guidelines on the use of Proscar in men aged 18 and over.
It's important to remember that online pharmacies are much less effective at selling drugs or other products that are not physically distributed.
