Medicine pack check sheet

Source-linked reading points

• Check PROSCAR, finasteride, 5 mg per tablet, NDC 78206-153-01, oral film-coated tablet, actual pack and target market together. Although PROPECIA also contains finasteride, its U.S. label is for a distinct 1 mg product for male-pattern hair loss; a shared ingredient or milligram number does not establish self-directed substitution, combination or proportional conversion.
• The label identifies PROSCAR for symptomatic BPH in men with an enlarged prostate. Shared urinary or prostate wording does not establish that it can be self-combined, substituted or alternated with tamsulosin, dutasteride, herbs or another urological product.
• The U.S. label states that women who are or may be pregnant should not use PROSCAR or handle crushed or broken tablets. This warning is safety information for this exact product; do not change handling of intact tablets because of appearance, a similar name or an assertion that a tablet can be split.
• When using several urological, cardiovascular, hormonal, OTC or supplement products, or preparing for a prostate-related evaluation, bring the actual packs and complete medicine list to a pharmacist or clinician. A webpage cannot turn label wording into an individual diagnosis, screening interpretation or medicine plan.
