Finasteride 5mg is a generic version of popular branded medicines that belong to the group called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
Finasteride 5mg shrinks the prostate gland in men when it is swollen. Finasteride 5mg is used in the treatment and control of benign (i.e., non-cancerous) enlargement of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia – BPH).
The prostate gland is found underneath the bladder (but only in men). It produces the fluid found in semen. A swollen prostate gland can lead to a condition called ‘benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)’. Finasteride 5mg causes shrinkage of the enlarged prostate, improves urinary flow and symptoms caused by BPH and reduces the risk of you developing a sudden inability to pass urine (known as acute urinary retention) and the need for surgery.
Finasteride 5mg should be administered in patients with an enlarged prostate (prostate volume above ca. 40 ml).
Mick Norris –
Finasteride 5 mg helped alleviate the pain while urinating, caused by the blocking of my bladder. The medicine was quite effective in delivering the best result within a few days of usage.
