Avodart 0.5mg Capsules – Dutasteride, 30 Capsules

Avodart is a medication used to treat men with an enlarged prostate. This non-cancerous growth of the prostate gland is caused by producing too much of a hormone called dihydrotestosterone. Avodart can help reduce the size of the prostate and improve symptoms such as urinary problems.

If you’re one of the many men suffering from an enlarged prostate, Avodart can help. This powerful medication works to reduce the amount of dihydrotestosterone in your body, shrinking the prostate and relieving symptoms like urinary frequency and difficulty starting urination. With once-daily dosing, Avodart is easy to use and provides real relief from a truly frustrating condition.

The active ingredient is dutasteride. It belongs to a group of medicines called 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

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 Avodart work?

Avodart 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.
Avodart may also be used with another medicine called tamsulosin (used to treat the symptoms of an enlarged prostate)
