Issues after taking finastride

[Rock92]

I have started taking Proscar (1/4 of 5mg) 2 weeks ago after my hair transplant and now i do get irritation in my urinating passage at night..

I talked to my patient coordinator for the hair transplant and she asked me to take it alternate days.

 

I wanted to ask folks here if they experienced any such issue. Any advice for me? Any medicine to relax my prostate?

I also read so many negative articles about finastride so i am also scared tbh..

With me the sides were more frequent peeing and slight ball ache. It disappeared when I switched from 1mg to 0.5 daily.

Try lowering the dose

I felt really dizzy at one point after taking it and stopped. I thought I will collapse. Never felt like that before.

lower the dose and see what happens

I  lowered the dose and the pain went away.  Now i am trying to slowly increase the dose..

Yes. Finasteride! If the pain has gone away I would stay on the dose you are on now (though I'm not a doctor). Speak with your patient coordinator with these concerns. All the best.
