Dutasteride

Dutasteride is a medication used primarily to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) and sometimes male pattern baldness. It works by reducing levels of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which contributes to prostate growth and hair loss. By lowering DHT, Dutasteride can help shrink the enlarged prostate and promote hair retention. It is typically taken as a daily capsule and requires medical supervision due to potential side effects, including hormonal changes. It’s important to discuss with a healthcare provider to determine if Dutasteride is appropriate for your condition.
