Proscar (Finasteride) is a type of steroid reductase inhibitor. It works by reducing the amount of the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the body. This makes the prostate gland smaller, which helps to relieve urinary problems.

PREPARING FOR AGING: DIABETES, STOMACH ULCERS, INFLUENZA AND PNEUMONIA
Diabetes
A nine-year study of 1,441 diabetic patients shows that those who succeeded in keeping their blood-sugar levels near normal had far fewer complications of eyes, nerves, and kidneys than others. If you are a diabetic, you can reap the same benefits by regularly measuring your blood sugar, following your prescribed meal plan, and exercising. Engineers have developed small, accurate machines that test for sugar levels in the blood from a single drop.
Stomach Ulcers
In the last decade, several powerful compounds - including Tagamet, Pepcid, Axid, and Zantac - have reduced stomach acid for ulcer patients. Now, after 12 years of study, researchers say a specific bacterium in the stomach causes peptic ulcers and may be linked to cases of gastritis and gastric cancer. To kill it and prevent re-infection, antibiotics and bismuth are prescribed.
Influenza
Flu is especially deadly for the elderly or those harboring a chronic disease. If you are 60 or older, ask your doctor whether you should be vaccinated yearly against the flu. Influenza opens the door to pneumonia, which is even deadlier.
Pneumonia
A one-time-only lifetime pneumonia vaccine can halve your risk of this dangerous disease. It can protect against a score of different types of pneumonia-causing bacteria. Doctors recommend it for most individuals aged 60 and over.
Think about it: If you would use the medical knowledge available, you could add years to your life.
