Dutasteride primarily treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition causing an enlarged prostate. It shrinks the prostate, relieving urinary symptoms like frequent urination and weak stream.
Beyond BPH, Dutasteride shows promise in male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia). By reducing dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone contributing to hair loss, it can promote hair regrowth or slow further hair thinning. Results vary, and consistent use is key.
Specific benefits include improved urinary flow, reduced nighttime urination frequency, and potentially increased hair density. However, individual responses differ, and a doctor should assess suitability.
Remember, Dutasteride is a prescription medication. Discuss potential side effects, such as decreased libido or erectile dysfunction, with your physician before starting treatment. They can help determine if Dutasteride is right for you and monitor your progress.
Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and usage. Do not exceed recommended doses.
