URODART 0.5MG 28 capsule

an oral product from Unimed unihealth pharmaceuticals ltd

URODART 0.5MG is an oral medication produced by Unimed Unihealth Pharmaceuticals Ltd, containing 0.5mg of Dutasteride per capsule. It is used for treating hair loss and symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate, aiming to improve symptoms, reduce the risk of acute urinary retention, and decrease the likelihood of needing BPH-related surgery. Dutasteride, the active ingredient, is a dual inhibitor of 5α-reductase, targeting both type 1 and type 2 isoenzymes. These enzymes convert testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which is primarily responsible for the hyperplasia of glandular prostatic tissue. The recommended dosage is 0.5 mg taken orally once daily, with or without food.
