Drug Information
4 reviews for Dutasteride (Dutas)
Dutas contains Dutasteride.
Dutasteride is a medicine for men with an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH). It shrinks the prostate and eases urine symptoms such as a weak flow, needing to go often and getting up at night.
It also lowers the risk of sudden inability to pass urine and the need for prostate surgery.
What is it used for?
- Enlarged prostate (BPH) in men
How does it work?
Testosterone is turned into a stronger hormone called DHT, which makes the prostate grow. Dutasteride blocks the enzymes that make DHT, so the prostate slowly shrinks.
