I take 40mg B-C a day with Finestaride for enlarged prostrate. My PSA has dropped from an average of 14 to 0. I like the stuff. Coment from doctor: Why are you taking B-C? Answer: It is good for the prostrate. His response: Well it certainly is doing something for you. I have been on Proscar alone and it didn't change anything. Male 74
