What Are The Side Effects Of Proscar In Pregnancy?

To whom it may concern,



My question is regarding Proscar. My husband has been on Proscar for about 5 years. We would like to consider having a child now. Will my baby be at any risk if he continues taking it? Am I at risk? Are his semen "normal"?



Thank you,
