Proscar (Finasteride) is used to treat the enlargement of the prostate gland in men, medically known as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). As an androgen hormone inhibitor, Proscar blocks the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and reduces this hormone level in the body. This helps to shrink the swelling of the prostate and improve the symptoms of BPH. Finasteride under the brand name Propecia is also found to be effective in curing male pattern baldness on the vertex region of the scalp.
