Proscar and Hair Loss

This eMedTV page talks about hair loss and Proscar, including information on why baldness can be treated with Propecia but not Proscar. Both drugs have the same active ingredient, but the dosages are different -- therefore, the drugs have different uses.

Proscar and Pregnancy

The combination of Proscar and pregnancy can be very dangerous. As this eMedTV Web page explains, taking Proscar or touching crushed Proscar tablets during pregnancy puts the fetus at risk of developing serious complications.

Proscar and Weight Gain

In clinical trials, weight gain was not reported as a side effect of Proscar. This selection from the eMedTV archives discusses how clinical trials work and explains that there does not appear to be a link between Proscar and weight gain.

Proscar Dosage

The Proscar dosage for the treatment of an enlarged prostate is 5 mg once a day. This section of the eMedTV Web site further discusses Proscar dosing guidelines and offers tips and precautions for taking the medication.

Proscar Drug Interactions

There are currently no known Proscar drug interactions. As this selection from the eMedTV archives explains, no drug interactions with Proscar have been identified yet, but that does not mean that they do not exist.
