DESCRIPTION
It is important to understand the mechanism of action to make the most of your therapy. Finasteride is capable of shrinking the prostate and has the ability to alleviate the symptoms of a prostate disorder. The drug belongs to the group of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. When prescribed in combination with another medication it’s often used with an alpha blocker doxazosin. These two can effectively block the prostate enlargement and bring relief to the patient.
The drug copes with such problems such as: poor urine flow, problems during urination, frequent night awakening with the strong urge to visit the bathroom. The treatment course can continue for half a year or even exceed this term to observe the effects of the drug fully. Use it regularly to achieve the desired effect and prevent prostate surgery. When treatment stops the growth of the prostate may continue. Many patients treated with Finasteride were able to avoid surgery.
