FAQs
What is Dutasteride used for?
Dutasteride is a recently approved drug which is a dual 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate to:
Improve symptoms Reduce the risk of acute urinary retention Reduce the risk of the need for BPH-related surgery
Dutasteride is currently in trial phase for the treatment of alopecia (hairloss).
Prostate growth is caused by a hormone in the blood called dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Dutasteride lowers DHT production in the body, leading to shrinkage of the enlarged prostate in most men. Just as your prostate became large over a long period of time, reducing the size of your prostate and improving your symptoms will take time. While some men have fewer problems and symptoms after 3 months of treatment with Dutasteride, a treatment period of at least 6 months is usually necessary to see if Dutasteride will work for you. Studies have shown that treatment with Dutasteride for 2 years reduces the risk of complete blockage of urine flow (acute urinary retention) and/or the need for surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
