User Reviews for Proscar oral

I was given a prescription for this drug by a urologist for an enlarged prostate. I had some problems getting up multiple times at night, like 10 or 12, to empty my bladder. Before taking the drug I began looking closely at what was in the food I was eating. Apple sauce for example, the chucky kind has lemon juice in it. I stopped eating apple sauce. I suspected that my bladder was as much or more at fault than my prostate. I cut back on ice cream, and some fruits that I knew irritated my urinary system. Never did take the proscar and I am having a better stream,and better sleep without the urgency I used to feel while getting up two times a night.I added Prostate Revive which is helping to calm the prostate too. Only suggestion I have is look at the contents of what you are eating or drinking and drop those things you know are causing you harm.Read More Read Less

miricle drug.if i stop taking,i stop peeing. started working in less than 2 weeks.i may not be horney all the time,but when opportunity knocks,i can still open the door.

I devloped Arm tremor amd shaking from my limbs. I see this is one of the side effects. I recently saw a Neurologist who diagnosed me with Parksons. Its not Parksons at all, its the side effects of Procar (Tremor)

Within 6 months Proscar reduced the frequency and duration of the "I gotta pee now" attacks. But the improvement comes with a high price. By 10 months there was a dramatic loss of libido and an inability to achieve erection. The literature on this drug says 1 in 5 experience these side effects. I think this is a lie. It's more like 1 in 9. Sex is one of the things that makes life worth living - so now I have to do without it? Not happy with this treatment.

I'm 53 and was prescribed Proscar to reduce my prostate. I was on this drug for 6 months when I realized a little reduction in prostate and an extraordinary reduction in sex drive, inability to maintain an erection, reduced semen, shrinking penis and enlarged, tender breasts. Fun times. . .NOT! I quit in the hopes of regaining my manhood. All my doctor said was I would grow hair as a side effect. Oops, left out a little information Doc.

Taking medication for over one year. Urinate every 2 hrs. Psa 2. Dr. said when you take Proscar you must double the PSA# so I guess my real PSA is 4. Had 2 biopsies, negative. Decreased Libido(sex urge). I wonder if there is something better than Proscar

What sexual desire I had left at age 75 is gone. Believe it or not, I believe that my penis is shrinking; really!

THe only thing that was strange was that I had one PSA test before taking the drug and got a 2.5 reading.Then took the drug for 6 months got another PSA reading of 1.1.and a year later had 2 PSA tests.within a week and got 2 similiar readings,2.6 and then 2.4. My guess is that the lab was never told I was on this drug or tested my blood differntly within a year.

After 4 to 5 days blood pressure increases and genetal pain. Have tried to take it 4 different times and have had same problem.

While it did not shrink my prostate it keep it from getting any larger 112cm. Some loss of sex drive and interest but better than nothing. I have to get a haircut at least every 3 wks now from the hair growth. hi.

my psa was 19 when i started taking finasteride a my flow was very restricted. within two months psa is 4. i also have a very good flow.

Im 43 years old with an enlarged prostate and have taken this drug for six months. It has lowered my PSA and improved my urine flow. The side effects are that im completely impotent and not interested in sex at all. The improvement in night time trips to the bathroom is enough to keep me using this drug.

I have enlarge Prostate and this medicine seems to help my problems. The medicine Iam taking is the generic type which is the finasteride 5mg.

GOOD EXPERIANCE EXCEPT LACK OF LIBIDO. PSA TEST UNDER 1.0 FOR 10 YEARS

I have taken drug for over 15 months. I have encountered sexual side effects like retrograde ejaculation and loss of seman during ejaculation. Orgasims very low grade.
