Finasteride 5 mg Tablets are indicated for the treatment and control of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) to:

- cause regression of the enlarged prostate, improve urinary flow and improve the symptoms associated with BPH,

- reduce the incidence of acute urinary retention and reduce need for surgery including transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) and prostatectomy.

Finasteride 5 mg tablets should be administered in patients with an enlarged prostate.
