Anonymous –
I started taking Proscar when it was a blind study. It has reduced my prostate to the size of a teenager’s prostate. I still take it, but am now using the generic (Finasteride). The only side effect that I have had is slight breast tenderness and swelling (not cancerous as it has been that way for almost a year) also my bald spot all but disappeared.
