PROSCAR causes regression of the enlarged prostate, improves urinary flow and improves the symptoms associated with BPH.
Patients with an enlarged prostate are the appropriate candidates for therapy with PROSCAR.

No adjustment in dosage is required although pharmacokinetic studies indicated the elimination of finasteride is somewhat decreased in patients more than 70 years of age.
