GlossaryDutasteride

medication that inhibits DHT to treat enlarged prostate and hair loss

Dutasteride, also known by the brand name Avodart, is a medication primarily used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which is an enlarged prostate. It works by inhibiting the action of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that contributes to prostate growth. Additionally, dutasteride is sometimes used off-label to treat male pattern baldness due to its ability to reduce DHT levels, which are implicated in hair loss.
