Product Description:
Avodart 0.5 mg Capsule 30pcs is a medication used to treat men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland. This condition is caused by the overproduction of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. Avodart belongs to a class of medications known as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
How the Medication Works:
Dutasteride, the active ingredient in Avodart, works by lowering the production of dihydrotestosterone, which helps to shrink the prostate and relieve associated symptoms. As the prostate enlarges, patients may experience urinary problems, such as difficulty in urination and frequent urges to go to the bathroom. Avodart helps alleviate these symptoms, thereby reducing the risk of acute urinary retention and the need for surgical intervention.
Uses:
Dutasteride may also be used in conjunction with another medication called tamsulosin, which is used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate. Avodart is an effective option for men suffering from this condition, helping to improve their quality of life.
Warnings:
Consult a physician before using this medication, especially if the patient has other health conditions or is taking other medications.
