Uses of Proscar

Proscar is also known by the generic name Finasteride

USES:
Finasteride is used to shrink an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) in adult men. It may be used alone or taken in combination with other medications to reduce symptoms of BPH and may also reduce the need for surgery.

Finasteride may improve symptoms of BPH and provide benefits such as decreased urge to urinate, better urine flow with less straining, less of a feeling that the bladder is not completely emptied, and decreased nighttime urination.

This medication works by decreasing the amount of a natural body hormone (DHT) that causes growth of the prostate.

Women and children should not use this medication.

Uses of Flomax

Flomax is also known by the generic name Tamsulosin

USES:
This medication is used in men to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH). Tamsulosin is known as an alpha-blocker and works by relaxing muscles in the bladder and prostate. Relaxing these muscles helps to relieve symptoms of BPH such as difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, weak stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently (including during the middle of the night).

This medication should not be used to treat high blood pressure. It should not be used by women or children.
