WHAT FINASTERIDE
ALPHAPHARM IS
USED FOR
FINASTERIDE ALPHAPHARM is
for use by men only.
FINASTERIDE ALPHAPHARM is
used to treat a medical condition in
men called benign prostatic
hyperplasia or BPH. BPH is a
condition where your prostate gland
(which is near your bladder) has
become bigger making it more
difficult for you to pass urine. This
can lead to symptoms such as:
•
weak or interrupted stream of
urine
•
feeling that you cannot empty
your bladder completely
•
delay before you start to pass
urine
•
needing to pass urine often,
especially at night
•
feeling that you must pass urine
right away
BPH occurs only in men and is
common over the age of 50 years. In
some men, BPH can lead to serious
problems, including urinary tract
infections and the sudden inability to
pass urine at all. BPH can also lead
to the need for surgery such as
procedures to improve the flow of
urine.
The prostate gland takes years to
grow. Therefore, the symptoms of
BPH take a long time to develop.
FINASTERIDE ALPHAPHARM
works by slowly reducing the size of
your prostate gland. This may lead to
gradual improvement in your urine
flow and other symptoms over
several months. FINASTERIDE
ALPHAPHARM also helps reduce
the risk of developing a sudden
inability to pass urine (acute urinary
retention) and the need for surgery.
This may happen whether or not you
notice any improvement or change in
your symptoms.
