THERAPEUTIC ACTION: finasteride is an inhibitor of the 5α-reductase enzyme, which metabolizes testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the prostate gland. DHT is responsible for the progressive enlargement of the prostate gland: benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), a pathology that increases with age.
This medicine decreases DHT levels; as a result the size of the prostate gland is decreased and obstructive and subjective symptoms improve.
This leads to the considerable improvement of bladder emptying, increase in urinary flow and strength of urinary stream, without affecting the plasma levels of testosterone and the role that said gland plays in male body (for example, fertility, muscular strength, libido, etc.).

INDICATIONS: finasteride is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
This medicine has shown to:

• Improve symptoms.
• Reduce the risk of acute urinary retention.
• Reduce the risk of the need for surgery, including transurethral resection of the prostate and prostatectomy.

Before initiating finasteride therapy, patients should be tested in order to differentiate pathologies such as prostatic carcinoma, infections of the urinary tract, hypotonic bladder, and other neurogenic disorders simulating a BPH.
Finasteride administered in combination with the alpha-blocker doxazosin is indicated to reduce the risk of symptomatic progression of BPH.
