WHAT FINASTERIDE GH 5 IS
USED FOR
Finasteride GH 5 is for use by
men only.
Finasteride GH 5 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.
•
A 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 GH
5 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 GH
5 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.
Your doctor may have
prescribed Finasteride GH 5 for
