Hello,

Lots of articles recently about the drug Finasteride, which I guess is in
Proscar

Question: Is it also in Avodart ?

I'm taking Avodart now, but apparently this drug also helps in actually
preventing prostate cancer, and I was wondering if it makes sense to
consider switching from Avodart to Proscar, if it is not in Avodart ?

Thanks,
B.

Avodart does not prevent cancer!!! It is supposed to shrink the
prostate. It may do that or it may not, your results may vary.
Avodart contains Dutasteride, not Finasteride. Finasteride is in
Proscar. Finasteride MAY reduce the risk of prostate cancer, Studies of
Dutasteride in reducing prostate cancer are still underway.
Feel free to Google all the above names.
