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. While it is generally considered safe and well-tolerated, some potential side effects of Dutasteride include decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculation disorders, gynecomastia (breast enlargement in men), and mood changes. It is important to note that Dutasteride is not FDA approved for treating hair loss but has been approved for BPH treatment. More research is needed to determine its efficacy in treating hair loss.
