Dutasteride Pellets

Dutasteride Pellets

Dutasteride is a medication that is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) among men, a prostate gland expansion that leads to urinary issues. Dutasteride works by inhibiting the action of type I and type II 5-alpha reductase enzymes, which convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By decreasing the level of DHT, dutasteride shrinks the prostate and alleviates symptoms such as increased urination frequency, sluggish urine flow, and difficulty starting urination. Dutasteride is also off-label used in some instances for male pattern baldness. Side effects may be decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and breast tenderness.

• Reduces Symptoms: It reduces the symptoms of BPH, such as more frequent urination, hesitancy when urinating, and decreased urinary stream.
• Long-acting Effect: The drug exhibits a long half-life with a once-daily regimen.
• Hormonal Regulation: Dutasteride is a type I and type II 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, with decreased levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that causes prostate enlargement.
• Hair Growth Potential: It may also be beneficial in male pattern baldness by reducing the DHT levels in the scalp.
• Improves Sexual Well-being: Some studies show that it can improve sexual function in men with BPH.
• Decreased Risk of Surgery: It may decrease the risk of surgery by actually treating the symptoms of BPH successfully.
