Dutasteride capsules are used to treat men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia). This condition is caused by producing too much of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone, which can lead to urinary problems and other health complications. Dutasteride helps to reduce the amount of this hormone in the body, relieving symptoms and improving overall health.
What is an enlarged prostate?
As the prostate grows, it can lead to urinary problems, such as difficulty in passing urine and a need to go to the toilet frequently. It can also cause the flow of the urine to be slower and less forceful. If left untreated, there is a risk that your urine flow will be completely blocked (acute urinary retention). This requires immediate medical treatment. In some situations surgery is necessary to remove or reduce the size of the prostate gland.
How does Dutasteride Capsules work?
Dutasteride Capsules lowers the production of dihydrotestosterone, which helps to shrink the prostate and relieve the symptoms. This will reduce the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgery.
Dutasteride may also be used with another medicine called tamsulosin (used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate)
