Patient summary
Dutasteride 0.5mg soft capsules, used in the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia. A 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.
Mechanism of action
It inhibits the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. By reducing these hormone levels, it shrinks the prostate gland over time and helps slow hair loss related to androgenic effects.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Contraindicated for women. Pregnant women should not handle leaking capsules. Breastfeeding: Confirm breastfeeding suitability with a qualified clinician or pharmacist before use.
Avodart contains dutasteride, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It comes as a 0.5mg tablet and is used in benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia. The originator company is GSK, and the medicine is also sold under the name Dutas.
Dutasteride blocks the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. With less of that hormone available, the prostate gland shrinks over time and hair loss related to androgenic effects slows. Changes generally become noticeable over 3 to 6 months, and treatment is long term. The medicine is for adult men only. Women who are or may become pregnant should not handle the capsules, because touching the contents may harm the fetus.
