Dutasteride is a chemical substance similar to Propecia's finasteride in terms of its chemical structure and effects.Its branded form,known as Avodart,is used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia but dutasteride has recently also completed Phase III clinical trials for treating male pattern baldness.
Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Dutasteride is prescribed to alleviate symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, including difficulty urinating, frequent urination, and a weak urine stream.
Reducing Prostate Volume: By inhibiting the enzymes responsible for DHT production, dutasteride helps shrink the size of the prostate over time, providing long-term relief.
Preventing Prostate Cancer Progression: In some cases, it is studied for its potential role in slowing the progression of prostate cancer, particularly in men with early-stage disease.
Hair Loss Treatment (Androgenic Alopecia): Although primarily used for prostate conditions, dutasteride is also being investigated for male pattern baldness due to its ability to reduce DHT levels, a major factor in hair loss.
