Brief Answer:
It is good and effective to treat BPH, no reason why you shouldn't sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Finasteride is used to reduce the size of the prostate mainly used in a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The medication is good and effective, and I do not see any reason why you should not take this medication if at all you have been diagnosed with age-related prostatic enlargement.

I hope you find my response helpful sir. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, or specifications, I would be more than happy to help.

Best wishes.
