Dutasteride is a medication used to treat symptoms of an enlarged prostate gland, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It can be taken alone or in combination with another medication called tamsulosin. Dutasteride belongs to a class of drugs called 5α-reductase inhibitors, which work by blocking the action of enzymes that convert testosterone into DHT, a hormone that contributes to prostate enlargement. By reducing the size of the enlarged prostate, Dutasteride helps relieve symptoms such as difficulty in urinating and a weak urine stream.

Emergency medication refers to medication that is needed urgently in situations where a person has run out of their regular medication or their medication routine has been interrupted due to an emergency. Laws regarding emergency prescription refills may vary by state. In such situations, it may be possible to get a one-time medication renewal after a review of the patient's medical history. Emergency prescription requests are used to obtain medication that prevents a person from becoming severely unwell. Medication-assisted treatment is also used during emergencies, specifically for opioid use disorder in jails and prisons during the reentry process. One can get emergency medication from their local pharmacy, and if that pharmacy is closed, they can visit any other pharmacy that has the necessary medication in stock.
