    blocks enzyme converting testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT)

    A 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor is a type of medication that blocks the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By reducing DHT levels, these inhibitors can help treat conditions like male pattern baldness and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
