Dutasteride 0.5mg Capsule (Blister Pack of 10)
Description
Dutasteride is an oral medication used to treat conditions related to excess dihydrotestosterone (DHT), including male pattern hair loss and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). By reducing DHT levels in the body, dutasteride helps protect hair follicles from hormonal shrinkage and may support hair retention in individuals experiencing genetic hair loss.
Dutasteride works by inhibiting both types of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase (Type I and Type II), which convert testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Because DHT is the primary hormone responsible for hair follicle miniaturization in androgenetic alopecia, lowering its levels may help slow hair loss and support improved hair density over time.
