Dutasteride to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) & Hair Loss (*)

Avodart is used to treat prostate enlargement, a condition that is medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.

(*) Avodart is also a very effective treatment against male pattern baldness.

Avodart (Dutasteride) reduces the 2 enzymes responsible for the conversion of testosterone to DHT - which is a primary concern in hair loss. Where Propecia (Finasteride) only blocks one enzyme, by blocking both Avodart's result could be better. Because of being not approved by the FDA, Avodart officially isn't a hair loss medication.

Why is Avodart prescribed?

Avodart is used to treat prostate enlargement, a condition that is medically known as benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH.

The prostate is a chestnut-shaped gland that is part of the male reproductive system. It produces a liquid that forms part of the semen. This gland completely encloses the upper part of the urethra, the tube through which urine flows out of the bladder. Many men over age 50 suffer from a benign (noncancerous) enlargement of the prostate. The enlarged gland squeezes the urethra, obstructing the normal flow of urine. Resulting problems may include difficulty in starting urination, weak flow of urine, and the need to urinate urgently or more frequently. Sometimes surgical removal of the prostate is necessary.

By shrinking the enlarged prostate, Avodart may alleviate the various urinary symptoms, making surgery unnecessary. You will need to see your doctor for periodic examinations to assess your response to treatment. It may take several months before you notice an improvement in symptoms.
