Finasteride found to help urinary problems

In a recent article in Reuter’s health, the long term use of the drug Proscar has been found to cut the need for surgery in men with enlarged prostates.

Proscar, also called Finasteride, is a common drug that reduces the size of the prostate, and is also used to treat hair loss known as Propecia 

The new analysis is based on data from more than 21,000 men studied in 23 clinical trials, most of which were funded by companies that make drugs to treat the condition. Most studies found Proscar did little to relieve urinary symptoms, although it worked better for men with the largest prostates.
