Side Effects Associated with ProscarProscar is a type of treatment called a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It works by slowing down the production of androgens, and eventually leading to a change in prostate size.
When your body gets a slightly different response from the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, such as decreased size or worse, a medication called dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is started.
DHT can also impact the test results, so your doctor can prescribe an oral medication to help you see better.
You may also be prescribed a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like finasteride to help stop a reduction in size in your prostate. Proscar tablets are not available without a prescription.
DHT levels should be checked at regular visits, so that any medication you take and still experience side effects is never too close to your body's normal level.
