Veltride Tablet 0.5mg

Veltride tablet 0.5mg is a medication that contains Dutasteride as the main active ingredient, which is primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men. BPH is a condition where the prostate gland enlarges, leading to urinary symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty starting urination, or weak urine flow. The medicine treats the symptoms of BPH and reduces the size of the prostate gland, improving urine flow and reducing the need for surgery. Veltride Tablet is a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor. It blocks an enzyme that is necessary to change testosterone to another hormone that causes the prostate to grow. As a result, it helps to shrink the prostate and relieve the symptoms like difficulty in passing urine. Dutasteride is sometimes used off-label to treat male pattern baldness, although finasteride (another 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor) is more commonly prescribed for this purpose. How Dutasteride works? Dutasteride works by inhibiting the action of 5-alpha-reductase, an enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that plays a key role in the growth of the prostate. By reducing DHT levels, the Veltride tablet helps shrink the prostate, easing the symptoms of BPH.
