What is Proscar?
Proscar is a prescription tablet for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous growth of the prostate that becomes common after 50. Proscar treats the cause rather than only the symptoms: it lowers DHT, the hormone that makes the prostate grow, so the gland gradually shrinks. This also lowers the long-term risk of suddenly being unable to pass urine and of needing prostate surgery.
A weak or stop-start stream
The enlarged gland squeezes the urethra, so urine comes out slowly or in bursts.
Getting up at night
Waking two or more times to pass urine is one of the most common reasons men seek help.
Feeling you have not finished
A bladder that does not empty fully means more trips and, sometimes, infections.
Proscar 5mg is for prostate enlargement only. It is not a hair loss treatment, which uses a 1mg dose.
What to expect on Proscar, month by month
Proscar is a slow, steady treatment. Knowing the timeline helps you stay on it long enough to feel the benefit.
1
Weeks 1 to 4
DHT levels fall quickly, but the prostate has not shrunk yet, so most men feel little change. Keep taking it every day.
2
Around 3 months
Some men notice a steadier stream and fewer night-time trips as the gland starts to shrink.
3
6 months
This is when doctors judge how well it works. The prostate is often noticeably smaller and PSA readings are about half of what they were.
4
1 year and beyond
Benefits are maintained for as long as you keep taking it. Your doctor will review your symptoms and PSA regularly.
How to take Proscar 5mg
One 5mg tablet a day
Swallow it whole with water, with or without food, at about the same time each day.
Missed a dose?
Take it the same day if you remember. If not, skip it. Never take two at once.
Long-term treatment
Proscar controls BPH while you take it. Stopping lets the prostate grow back over months.
Many men also take an alpha blocker such as tamsulosin, which relaxes the prostate within days while Proscar works on its size. Your doctor will tell you if a combination suits you.
Is Proscar right for you?
Usually suitable for
Men with urinary symptoms from a diagnosed enlarged prostate
Men with a larger prostate, where shrinking it has the most benefit
Men who want to lower their risk of urine retention or surgery
Not suitable, or check first
Women and children must not take Proscar
Allergy to finasteride or any tablet ingredient
Liver problems, as your doctor may need to monitor you
A high or rising PSA that has not been checked, because prostate cancer must be ruled out first
Important: Proscar and your PSA test
Proscar roughly halves PSA readings after 6 months. Tell any doctor who checks your PSA that you take it, so the result is read correctly. A PSA that rises while you are on Proscar should always be looked into.
Handling tablets at home
Whole tablets are coated and safe to touch. Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken tablets, as finasteride can pass through the skin and affect a male baby's development.
Proscar side effects
Most men take Proscar without problems. When side effects happen they are usually sexual, affect a small minority, and often settle with time.
More common
Lower sex drive, difficulty getting an erection, and less semen when you ejaculate.
Less common
Breast tenderness or swelling, rash, and low mood. Tell your doctor about any change in mood.
See a doctor promptly for
A breast lump, pain or nipple discharge, swelling of the lips or face, or thoughts of self-harm.

I trust Hello Doktor more compared to some other platforms I tried before. Previously the other platform i use the doctor was quite rude and delivery also took so long like 2 week plus, but here totally different. Doctor very friendly and professional, explain properly and the service super fast. Delivery also came much quicker within 2 hours. Hope Hello Doktor can maintain this excellent standard 👍

Honestly so impressed with HelloDoctor! I uploaded the prescription I got from Dr. Brian, and the whole process was incredibly smooth, safe, and just super fast. I couldn’t believe it when my order arrived at my doorstep in just 2 hours. The packaging was neat and discreet, and the medicine was exactly what I needed. It saves so much time compared to queuing at a pharmacy. Will definitely be using them again!

My experience with Hello Doktor has been really positive and life changing. I’ve struggled with my heavy weight for years and tried different things, I’ve lost around 8kg so far, which I honestly didn’t expect..
doctors and whatsapp people have been supportive and easy to reach whenever I have questions. Still have more to go, but overall I feel much better and more lighter.

Yes. This is Proscar made by Organon, the original brand of finasteride 5mg, registered in Malaysia as MAL19985910ACRZ. You can look the number up yourself on the NPRA Quest3+ register. Our licensed pharmacy partner dispenses it in the sealed manufacturer pack.
Yes. Proscar is a prescription medicine. When you order, you fill in a short health form and a licensed Malaysian doctor reviews it before anything is dispensed. If the doctor needs more information, or feels another treatment suits you better, they will contact you first.
Proscar works slowly because it shrinks the prostate a little at a time. Some men notice an easier flow by about 3 months, but doctors judge the full effect at 6 months or later. If nothing has improved by then, speak to your doctor, as another medicine or a combination may help more.
Yes, and for larger prostates doctors often prescribe both. Tamsulosin relaxes the prostate muscle and helps within days, while Proscar shrinks the gland over months. Used together they lower the chance of symptoms getting worse more than either one alone. Your doctor will decide whether you need both.
Yes. After about 6 months, Proscar lowers PSA readings to roughly half. Doctors usually double the number to read it correctly, so always tell anyone checking your PSA that you take Proscar. A PSA that keeps rising while you are on it needs to be checked.
The prostate slowly grows back and symptoms usually return over the following months. Proscar controls an enlarged prostate rather than curing it, so most men stay on it long term. Talk to your doctor before stopping.
Proscar is registered for an enlarged prostate. Hair loss is treated with a much lower 1mg dose, and Proscar tablets should not be split to get there, because broken tablets can expose others at home, including pregnant women, to the medicine.
Take it when you remember on the same day. If it is already the next day, skip the missed tablet and carry on as normal. Do not take two at once. Because Proscar works over months, an occasional missed dose will not undo your progress.
Once the doctor approves your order, our licensed pharmacy partner sends Proscar in plain, discreet packaging. Delivery is free across Malaysia and usually arrives within 1 to 3 working days.
