Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Urodart is used to treat symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men with an enlarged prostate. It helps improve symptoms, lowers the risk of sudden urinary retention, and reduces the likelihood of needing BPH related surgery.

Dutasteride works by blocking 5α-reductase, the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is a dual inhibitor, meaning it acts on both the type 1 and type 2 forms of this enzyme. Since DHT is the hormone chiefly responsible for the enlargement of prostate gland tissue, reducing its levels helps address the underlying cause of prostate growth.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Pregnancy Category X. Because of this, doctors do not prescribe Dutasteride to women under any circumstances. Its effect on semen quality and how this might affect a man's fertility are not yet fully understood.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Adults: The recommended dose is one Dutasteride 0.5 mg capsule, taken by mouth once a day. Capsules should be swallowed whole rather than opened or chewed, and Dutasteride can be taken with or without food. No dose adjustment is needed for patients with kidney impairment or for older adults. Because no data are available for patients with liver impairment, no dosing recommendation can be given for this group. Pediatric use: Dutasteride is not approved for use in children, as its safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not been established. Geriatric use: Studies found no overall difference in safety or effectiveness between elderly and younger adult patients.
