I have a benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) — can I donate?

Yes, but certain medications, recent surgery or surgery planned in the near future may mean you need to wait a bit. If you’re taking dutasteride (Avodart, Duodart), you won’t be able to donate until six months after you’ve finished taking it, or for a week after you have finished taking finasteride (Finasta, Finnacar, Finpro, Propecia, Proscar). If you’re on any other medications, please contact us to speak to a medical professional about it.
