Finasteride was approved in 1997 by the FDA and was also approved for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition in which enlarged prostate gland results in prostate enlargement and urinary problems. Finasteride is now in use in the United States as a treatment for male pattern baldness.
