Prosterit

Prosterit contains finasteride, a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that reduces the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Lowering DHT levels can help reduce prostate enlargement and improve urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

Finasteride works gradually and may help improve urinary flow while reducing the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for prostate-related surgery in appropriate patients.

Medical Uses

Prosterit may be prescribed for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia in men with an enlarged prostate. It can help improve urinary symptoms such as weak urine flow, difficulty starting urination, frequent urination, and incomplete bladder emptying.

Directions for Use

Take only as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. Finasteride is generally taken once daily and can be taken with or without food.

Treatment may require several months before the full therapeutic benefit becomes apparent. Do not change the dose or discontinue treatment without medical advice.

Safety Information

Possible adverse effects include decreased libido, erectile difficulties, reduced ejaculate volume, and changes in ejaculation. Some sexual adverse effects may persist after discontinuation in certain patients.

Finasteride can reduce PSA levels, which may affect prostate cancer screening results. Inform your healthcare professional that you are taking finasteride before PSA testing.

Pregnant women should not handle crushed or broken finasteride tablets because exposure may potentially harm a developing male fetus.

Storage

Store according to the manufacturer’s instructions, protected from excessive heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
