Strip
Product Description:
Dutas Capsule (Dutasteride 0.5mg) is a medication prescribed for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition characterized by the enlargement of the prostate gland. This enlargement can lead to symptoms such as difficulty in urination, weak urine stream, and the need to urinate frequently or urgently.
Dutasteride works by inhibiting the action of the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to the growth of the prostate. By reducing DHT levels, Dutas helps shrink the enlarged prostate, thereby relieving symptoms associated with BPH.
This treatment reduces the need for surgery and improves overall urinary function, although it may take several months for noticeable benefits to occur. Dutas is typically prescribed for long-term use and is not intended for women or children
