Description:

Dutasteride is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia . It works by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone that drives prostate growth. Over several months, this can shrink the prostate, improve urine flow, and lower the risk of urinary retention or surgery. Dutasteride is most effective in men with larger prostates and is sometimes combined with an alpha-blocker for faster symptom relief. Side effects may include reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, or decreased semen volume.
