Dutasteride Teva

Contain the active ingredient : Dutasteride 0.5 mg, which is a type of medicine called a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor.

It works by inhibiting the action of a substance in the body called 5-alpha reductase. 5-alpha reductase is an enzyme that is responsible for converting the male hormone testosterone into a more active form called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The enlargement of the prostate gland, (known medically as benign prostatic hyperplasia), which often occurs in men with advancing age, is dependent upon testosterone being converted to DHT within the prostate gland. In the absence of DHT the prostate gland shrinks.  By decreasing the amount of testosterone that is converted into DHT, dutasteride therefore helps to shrink the prostate gland.

The prostate gland is found only in men and lies at the top of the tube connecting the bladder to the outside (urethra). Enlargement of the prostate causes it to press on the urethra and bladder and can cause urinary symptoms such as difficulty passing urine and increased need to urinate, particularly at night. By shrinking the prostate, dutasteride relieves the pressure on the bladder and urethra. This allows urine to flow freely past the prostate and relieves the urinary symptoms associated with this condition.

An effective hair loss treatment.

The treatment works by inhibiting the conversion of a hormone that kills hair follicles

Dutasteride is a medication that blocks an enzyme known as 5-alpha reductase (5-AR).   This enzyme is responsible for the production of dihydrotestosterone (or DHT), which is the androgen hormone that plays a key role in prostate development and male pattern hair loss.

Dutasteride is often used in situations where hair loss is extensive or not responsive to another treatment known as finasteride.

What is it used for?

Enlarged prostate gland (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

Relieve moderate to severe symptoms of BPH and to reduce the risk of developing a
