Description
Finasteride is used to shrink an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) in adult men.

It may slightly increase the risk of developing a very serious form of prostate cancer. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks.Women and children should not use this medication.
