Yes, androgen inhibitors like Proscar; as well as a different group of medications for urine flow like Flomax or Cardura for BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy).

AnswerThere are several drugs for prostate conditions but all of them have side effects when you use them long term. Prostate supplements may be a better option than drugs since they have no known side effects and do an equally good job at alleviating the discomforts associated with an aging prostate. Prostate supplements containing beta sitosterol are effective. Beta Sitosterol has been extensively studied and is even recommended by many doctors for men suffering from an aging prostate and as a proactive measure for men over 40. You should, however, purchase a quality supplement that contains 300 mg of pure beta sitosterol along with other vital minerals that are known to support prostate health.
